My Feet Are Tired!

[Trek420]

H should be here tomorrow, plumber or no plumber she'll get to work. So I may have a further progress report. Did I mention this is not my carpenters day job?

So when she gets called in to work by her union things can stop for days. Luckily she coordinates things that go on in between so the plumber's been over, and so on. Or she sends me out shopping.

Monday after dropping Knott off at the airport I headed to Homedespot and picked out lights for the kitchen and 1/2 bath-laundry area. I'd looked eeeeeeeverywhere else, didn't see anything I liked and finally end up going with the lights H recommended. Luckily we have similar aesthetics. These will look nice.

We talked today and she said she'd finish painting the front door and installing the new lock. But how to get the key since I'd be home after she left. She came up with a super-top secret way to hide the key. So I arrived home, moment of panic when I did not see the key in it's innovative top secret hidey place. Came around the front, whew. New lock is not there.

So that's not done yet.

But the door is re-painted and looks like a new door (without the cost of buying and installing a new door of course), the drywall is largely back up in the kitchen with appropriate spots for the new gas line that she has run in should I or a future owner wish to say "now we're cooking with gas."

I am however still cooking with a microwave, electric tea kettle and French Press coffee maker.

All the electrical lines are tagged, labeled so that when the electrician is here tomorrow and I let him in (which I'll be doing instead of going to the C.S. Aikido Association yearly regional training where everyone who's everyone will be-can you tell this is getting a little old?) anyway he can tell where everything goes.

Seems I need a new breaker box cause the one I have won't even support what I've got. So that'll be done.

Then maybe I get a kitchen....soon.
