A dose of reality

We spent our first working weekend at the house this weekend. We're officially paying for electric and water. We completely stripped the floors. We met some neighbors.

So far, we've gotten estimates from the contractor who will be doing our ceilings and doors and a bunch of other odd jobs. We priced tile installation, and ended up deciding to do it ourselves. On Saturday, we met with someone for the cabinet re-facing and got those on order. We're still waiting for the call for someone to come measure for the countertops (which have already been chosen) The A/C guy was supposed to come on Saturday, but never showed up. Mike finally called him, and he said he was stuck at another job, but would come right after church on Sunday. His church got out at 11:30. Sunday morning came and went, we did what we needed to do, cleaned up all our messes, packed up all our stuff to go back to Tempe.... and still no A/C guy. Mike left him a message at 3, and no response. We gave up at 4, and headed back home.

We're going slightly over what we'd budgeted on the kitchen, and will be making up for it in other areas. It looks like we might need to find another A/C guy. All-in-all though, a productive first weekend!
