But the beat goes on.
Holding up the backsplash to see how it’s going to look.
And. The van in the sunset.
The van isn’t getting much attention right now…
We still have kitchen appliances in the living room
Painting
The surface is sanded, dusted, and the surroundings protected, then the primer applied. After the primer dries, the surface is sanded and dusted again, before the paint layer is applied. After that dries, repeat again for the second finish coat. If the adjacent surface will be a different color, it can’t start until the first surface is completed. It seems to be about 8 hours of prep and 2 hours of painting for every 10. Baby steps.
Today however, as some surfaces are finished, some of the plastic barriers are coming down.
Usually nobody works on the weekend, but the painter is going to come back tomorrow to finish up his part here.
Bath day for Jesse
Mobile groomer.
She loves Javi.
But gets anxious about the bath.
The quartz countertop arrived today.
They finished it off in the driveway.
And now it’s in place.
Jorge, the painter, is working around it as he finishes up.
And the television is on the wall and wires routed.
The warm before the storm
Ninety degrees and calm today, but the weather is going to hit tomorrow. A high in the fifties and windy, if you can imagine. For one day.
Color on the dining room counter.
Hardware going back on the cabinets.
The bathroom linen closet has doors again.
Judy went in and out the back door and did a load of laundry, a first since they took out the washer and dryer then got them back in again.
Evening light.
Well maybe
Well maybe yesterday’s hot dogs aren’t the closest food to our normal home cooking. Even though the teriyaki chicken rice bowls loaded with veggies were cooked by someone else, that’s closer to how we normally eat.
The new medicine cabinet for the bathroom arrived today. The old one sucks.
The cabinet is made out of metal and the inside of the doors have sharp edges and corners. It has tried to kill Judy and me both (by bleeding out from our arms), in separate incidents.
The new one is wood, but you can’t tell yet.
We changed a couple paint colors before the painter got to them. We were going to paint the wood countertop in the dining room the cream color same as the bathroom linen closet. Now, with the color in front of us, it doesn’t look right for the dining room, so we switched back to a rich leather brown we had picked out before. That should match up better with the dark gray countertop on the kitchen cabinets.
The microwave arrived today.
