Tomorrow we will once again attempt to pick up the sink cabinet for our new upstairs bath from IKEA. Their online system is saying they have it back in stock and we’re both really hoping that it will still be in stock by the time we get there tomorrow. We thought about going yesterday but hubby wasn’t really in the mood when he came home because he’d had a pretty crummy day at work. And who wants to go fight with crazy people for a spot at the counter to order the cabinet and then again at the check-out counter. So we figure tomorrow night will be soon enough. We don’t really need to have Macky back so soon either but at least once the cabinet is there, he will be able to come over and finish up all the other small stuff which still needs to be done.
Tonight we will hopefully be installing the baby gate to keep the dog out of the upper floors so the cats can have their freedom again. They don’t really seem to mind staying in the bedroom that much at the moment but it’s not really fair to them either. And since the dog is passed out half the day anyway, why shouldn’t they be roaming around lol.
And on Saturday hubby is determined to once again tackle the satellite dish. I thought the plan was to give up and just call a profession but apparently that is not in the cards just yet. So we’re going to try mounting a new dish up there altogether that already has the correct satellite head and bracket on it and all that he’ll need to do while he’s on the roof is take the old dish off the mounting pole and then screw the new one on. This sounds simple enough but he’s probably going to have to go up there the steep way this time so we may need to come up with a new rope rigging system to keep him a bit safer. We also will need to purchase a satellite finder so we know the dish is pointing at the right place. And hopefully when we pick that up, we can also pick up batteries for our cordless Siemens phones which go along with our Gigaset base station. At the moment we have to go into the entry way to answer the phone. Since the house is not all that small and there’s doors and baby gates and stairs and everything else, having the two cordless phones hooked up will be a huge help.
Not sure what else will be on our list to tackle after that. Definitely will need to put together the sink cabinet and hopefully we can dig the sink out of Storage Room A without too much drama. It will be another full weekend but hopefully we can find some time to recoup in there too since last weekend left us almost as tired as we started off. But at least the week has gone by quickly and here we are almost at the weekend again.
