Macky is here today and I have to say that I really, really didn’t miss having contractors around. It’s not that he’s not a nice guy, it’s just nice to not have them hanging around, doing this or that and having to worry about the dust that is going to come from the work or making sure that you’re out of the way…but thankfully his visits now are few and far between…and when we have new projects for him, they will mostly be outside the main house which will be fabulous.
Anyway, he’s installing a door to our office today. Then we can close the door on all my chaos when guests come over or in the evening when we want the dog to stay out of there. The latter is especially important since Ayla likes to steal things from time to time like the phone, calculator, camera or anything else that may be lying on the desk.
He’s also supposed to take care of a few smaller projects today since the door isn’t going to take the whole day. He should be cutting a hole in the back of the sink cabinet so the drainage hoses from the dishwasher fit through there and we can finally get the cabinets moved back against the wall for the proper measurements. We actually wanted to do that this past weekend and have the round drill bits to cut the holes…but the spacer that holds the bit in place was missing from the box of drills so that kinda killed our progress.
I’m also hoping he will have time to move the medicine cabinet upstairs in the bathroom since it’s off center and drives me crazy. We can do this ourselves of course but he hung it the first time so it would be nice if he corrected it…and if he has everything here already and the time to do it, why not? Anything less we have to worry about is always good.
Otherwise, I don’t really know what he has planned. He has a few more pieces of trim to take care of in the entry hall and he may have brought the piece for the edge of the stairway but I can’t be sure yet. At the moment he’s out buying things that he either thought we had or just forgot…
