Any contractor can mock up a kitchen plan from building lots of them, but licensed KBDs specialize in kitchen planning. I love their input on use and function.

<drumroll> I finally have contacted the painter that my neighbor recommended to get an estimate to paint most of my condo.

It seems that this sort of thing should be easy, but I am quite practiced in the art of procrastinating and this project is turning out to be my masterpiece. Since I posted here that I would call them "this week," I had a bit of a car accident to deal with, then my parents came to visit. The parents left on Wednesday and the autobody shop finished fixing the car yesterday.

I did manage to type up the detailed list of work to be done last week, and now I've used the painter's online "request an estimate" form to start the ball rolling. I hope I like them and their estimate.

This weekend I will pack up more stuff to take to the storage unit that I rented last year. My goal is to minimize the number of things that I and the painters have to move around in order to get the work done.
