FINALLY...

the drywall guy has left my house...somehow 5 days turned into 19. It reminded me of Murphy Brown and the painter guy Elvin who lived in her house....now we need to get priming then painting as the cabinets are going to be installed next week!
then the floor guy comes back on the 9th to buff, shine etc then all we need to deal with is the counters, moldings decorating etc.
i am so sick of eating out! woohoo kitchen here i come!

a scene from csi.....

so......the 2 floor guys were here yesterday to finish up. Picture me upstairs on the phone when all of a sudden a BLOODcurdling scream--you can see where this is going- so i run down to find #1 taking #2 out the door in a rush. It would appear he met the saw and the saw won.....my new wood floor had blood all over it, the cement outside-bloody all over, the window had some spray.......anyhow long story short: it was the last piece of wood on the last day of work and now he won't be able to move his index finger.....cut through the tendon to the bone...he is a fireman working sidejobs laying floor.....poor guy......
on a good note my floor in finished except for the final buff and coat which they will do after the kitchen is installed.........

the ski boot




It has been quite some time I see...OOOOPS, bad blogger me!
Life is a bit chaotic right now, for all intents and purposes we are living upstairs.....the drywallers didn't come when they were supposed to which screwed up the kitchen and the floors so as it stands now the drywallers are still here....apparently when they say 5 days they really mean 9 and still counting....the floors are being delivered today but god knows when they can do them. All my pretty new appliances are sitting in my garage still in their boxes. My couches are outside getting wet i am sure....yep i pretty much have had enough.........
Then there is my ankle.....still wearing this lovely ski boot contraption and i am supposed to be using my crutches but i hate them so i don't. BAD patient! I am planning on bedazzling it so that may improve it......



Here are some pics of the kids
