spent about 7 hours at Home Depot today... and thank the heavens for our friend Cheryl Borean... we managed to get all of our purchases on a 12 month payment/interest deferral! HUGE bonus. even ordered 2 windows that need to be replaced and we'll get the tax credit for them too.
the magnificent Heather White (aka HOOT) came out to give a hand today and finished scrubbing up the kitchen til it practically shone
H is really quite happy with his new tools... shop vac being one of them....
the rest of the main floor carpet has been taken up as well as the nail strips and the brick from the fireplace is gone, ready for slate.
and, i have proven myself to be a true home improvements hazard....this is from moving 23kg boxes of hardwood over the weekend.
tomorrow... we buy paint. do some more cleaning. have a bit of an easier day before i head back to work wednesday morning and H starts taking up the laminate in the hallway to prepare for the slate.
Will you be repainting the same "pepto-bismal" pink? Wow. Lee.
ReplyDeletePs - I bet Holgers shopvac penis comes in handy for LOTS of things....I could say something here about "sucking and blowing".... but I won't.

Hey
ReplyDeleteNiiiiiiice work on the bruising, and the tax credits, and for surviving 7 hours in Home F-ing depot. (I was nearly catatonic after 4.5 hours at Ikea buying a bed for our new apartment. Dammit. Ended up with Burgundy curtains when everything we have is bluish and greenish and brownish--I should take ritalin before I go into the IKEA market). Anyway--hope to see the place soonly. Before spring but after we are settled.
