We have one more window that will also help lighten the room but it is lost in transit. I am told it should be here by the end of this week, but I am not holding my breath. For now, we have a sheet of plywood nailed to the back of the wall.
We also had black paper and chicken wire put in place for the upcoming stucco. I am sure there is a more technical term for the black paper, but I don't know what it is. Sorry.
Next came the gutters. I know they work since we had a rainy day since they were installed. The one next to the guest room is very noisy so it will need to be fixed before we have our first guest.
Next came the installation of the hardwood floors, which came with some challenges. The weather decided to turn cold so rather than being able to come for three days straight, the guys had to skip a day in between the three coats to allow the floors to properly dry. This would have been fine except they had to turn off the pilot lights, which meant I had no heat and no hot water. Yikes! I felt a melt down approaching until Aaron suggested I shower at the Brenda Athletic Club. Perfect solution. I also took all the blankets out of the closet and I was good to go. Oh, ya. Did I mention that Roger was in Washington DC visiting Aaron during this part of the project? I persevered and came out just fine. So did the floors. They are beautiful!
As I type, Roger is in transit from DC. It will be nice to hand the remodel reigns back over to him. I am told this week will bring stucco, lights in the room and maybe, just maybe the removal of the plastic wall. We're getting close, folks. Yipee!!
