I feel like I haven't been very good about keeping updated on our progress at the new house, so here goes!
FLOORING
The flooring for upstairs (laminate in living room, kitchen, bedrooms and hall, and vinyl in bathroom and laundry room) will be installed on Monday. As in four days from now. Prior to installation, the kitchen cupboards have to be installed, since laminate has to 'float' so cupboards can't be installed on top of it. The cupboards are still in their boxes in my garage. And I have to work 11-9 on Friday, and 9-6 on Saturday and Sunday. So my mother and brother are going to have a very exciting weekend installing my kitchen for me! Fortunately, they only have to set the lower cupboards into place, so the flooring people can work around them. So I think it will go well! At least I hope so, because once the flooring is in, I can move in, and sell my old house...so I'm really hoping it gets done soon!
PAINTING
I have seriously been painting my butt off...I've lost about 20 pounds, but I've also been running as practice for the Bolder Boulder, so it could be due to that and not the painting. But either way, I've gone through about 10 gallons of paint so far, and still haven't finished the upstairs! I have two of the three upstairs bedrooms done, as well as the hallway and the entryway, and all the ceilings. And let me tell you, I will NEVER paint another entryway as long as I have money to pay someone else to do it. The kitchen and living room are 'half' done, as in I've done around the ceilings and the trim, but have to paint the walls still. And the laundry room, bathroom, and third bedroom are still waiting to really be started. So far, I have used light and dark blue, light green, purple, and yellow. Still have green and taupe to go. I really do love to paint...I can't wait to start finishing off the basement, so I can get some new colors. I found some really pretty orangey colors at Lowe's today!
MOVING
The moving part of all this business is not going well at all. I have decided that I really need to simplify my life. I own over three closets full of clothing, some of which I can't remember buying. I packed away 5 huge crates of knick knacks, and my house is still fully decorated. So my new plan is to pack up all my crap, shove it into my new basement, and then sort. I'm talking some serious sorting! And then I am going to have a ginormous garage sale next summer. You're all invited!
