I arrived at about 9:30 this morning, thinking the container people may have beat me here as they have in the past but unfortunately not. I also managed to beat Macky and his guys here which is a bit unsettling but I’m telling myself they probably worked late last night so I hope that is what is going on. The have closed up the hole in the wall that they made yesterday for the piping and have the shower and sink connections studded out upstairs already also (with hot and cold connections).




The painters have also started making some good progress and have moved on to room 2 of 4 today as they have the majority of the walls finished in the living room as far as removing the old paper is concerned. They showed me a few wall textures this morning so I need to decide on something later today before I leave so they can get that moving along as well. We are thinking as little texture as possible at this point since we don’t really want to wall texture to distract from the room itself.



I’m really hoping the container guy shows up soon. I have another 1 1/2 hours to wait max so it’s anyone’s guess when he’ll finally get here. I planned to start cleaning out the storage rooms and shifting things around in there, taking stuff to the attic and barn and so…but it turns out that there isn’t all that much which can be done to help those rooms at the moment. I did make a major impact in A since there were a lot of free shelves and plenty of things to put in them but the others show little improvement at all. It’s cold out still and I’m not really feeling motivated to lug around heavy stuff so I guess I will just try to catch up on some other work while I wait…at least I’m not underfoot at the moment since the kitchen is essentially finished and with Macky not being here, there’s really not much going on in here at all.
