We have FLOORS

It was a tricky few days, but with the exception of the living room carpet (which is getting installed on Thursday) the house officially has brand-new flooring throughout. We moved in on Saturday, and the tile guy showed up bright and early on Sunday - a day early. He brought a huge crew with him, and they got a gigantic jump on the project. He wasn't able to come on Monday, but he was back again on Tuesday. Alone. He did some work in the bathrooms, flooded the kitchen (twice) with the water line for the ice maker in the fridge, and put the wrong toilet in the second bath. We'd bought new toilets for both baths, and made sure we told him that, but he put the old one back in. After an entire day of work, it looked like he'd barely gotten anything done. On Wednesday, I waited most of the day for him to show up, and he finally called to say he'd gotten stuck at another job and couldn't make it. Thursday he came with one other guy, and things went smoothly until he announced that we were short on tile. Off to the Home Depot we went for another box. They stayed late, till nearly 7, but they got it all finished.

We have the new vanity cabinets in the bathrooms now, one with the granite top and sink. One toilet is new, and one is old. Neither bathroom is painted yet.

We went to Home Depot Friday night to get our kitchen appliances ordered. Just to make things interesting, Mike forgot to measure the fridge, so we had to run back home to do it. Of course, the fridge that's here (and the space that it goes in) is 1/4 of an inch smaller than today's standard refrigerator. So the set that we'd picked out flew out the window, and we had to start all over again. We did find a very nice one that will fit, which of course is more money than we were going to spend. We chose a stove, microwave, and dishwasher to match... and money aside, are VERY happy with what we selected. They'll be delivered and installed on Wednesday, and we're hoping we can have the kitchen painted and ready for them.
