Ch-ch-ch-Changes

A relaxing Father's Day -- the Brick and I both needed it. 

Monday morning, slept in a little...after we heard the reno guys starting about 7:15 a.m.

Now, a few hours and several phone calls later:

The floor refinishing guy is booked for certain. He starts Wednesday. (Yay!)

The carpet we'd tried to cancel (because we could get the refinishing guy's services, instead) is already cut and on its way. (Booo....)

Wait a minute -- we can use that carpet DOWNSTAIRS, instead of upstairs. (Yay again...but wait. That means more $$. But it will make comfortable footing in two bedrooms downstairs. Oh well...what's some hundreds of dollars more between friends...)

The flooring guys are nearly finished in the main room. (They're the ones who started at 7:15 a.m.) Drew and Dave have been working regularly here for the past few weeks. They're great.

Laundry room and downstairs bathroom are next. This stuff looks wonderful.

Painting guys are headed back tonight. They'll work UPSTAIRS before finishing DOWNSTAIRS, so the refinishing guy can easily work. (The carpet people need far less lead time, so they can lay carpet once the painters are finished.)

And God willing, all this gets done before Friday, when Karine, our real estate agent takes photos and lists the house on the market. 

Open house would be Saturday and Sunday. 

Can we do it?


No, our house doesn't look like this...but ours is also a work-in-progress.
