What happened this week??? Not enough!
Cabinets stained, floor actually covered with paper...were they cleaned before...probably not.
paint started but ran out of paint...go figure not enough bought, but wait now the contractor has gone and drawn on the walls so that the sheetrock/floated guy can come back out to fix all his marks...with they paint..no never showed up.
Vent moved and put in, holes patched? Vent is crooked...and why is it in before the paint is finished...who knows.
I can tell you that on out part..we finished the 1/2 bath, put in the toilet and vanity that they were supposed to do? At least 1 thing is done in my house!

Dec 16th - Week of 1/2 bath paint and repaint
THis week I decided to do something that I could control the timeframe...because when you rely on a contractor...you can't. If they tell you 2 weeks what they really mean is they only work 1 day per week so 2 weeks reallly equals 14 weeks!!!
Anyway the half bath saga..started on Dec 16th...Tissue papered the wall...kilz the wall...painted the room...hated it! Let's now rip everything down wallpaper and all. Redo wall texture and paint again!

December 11---2 steps forward---3 steps back
NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN WILLI DO A MAJOR PROJECT LIKE THIS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!! ( Of course I was told it would be done sooner that it is!)
It is one thing to not be able to fix Thanksgiving Dinner, but it is another when you don't get to put up Christmas decor in your house, You don't get to have the Christmas party that you have had for the past 29 years, you don't get to get toys for the children from the party as you have done for the past 23 years, you don't have a bedroom for your children to come home to for the holidays because the room is full of boxes, We won't wake up Christmas morning and be able to cook a Christmas breakfast because who know if we will have a fricken oven or even a stove ...No not this year...this is our Christmas this year and it truly has sucked all the fun out of one of my favorite times of the year for me. I know I get a new room in the longrun, but the carless mistakes and problems that have come up should never have happened and it just drags this SH$$ out longer and longer!
Anyway this is where we are now...As for cooking...what is that? The last time I cooked was beef stew last week. We eat out every night because we have to pick paint, get stain, find door, yada yada yada...something every night.
Maybe after I get the paint in the spare bath they will put in the fricking toilet!! Do I sound the slightest bit bitter!! LOL
We have 80% of the cabinets up. We are told they will begin to stain them tomorrow...not sure how that goes when the doors are not all in...the shelves are not in place???
Pencil is center??
wine bar!!
new front door
And they are supposed to paint the rest of the rooms...but we have extra holes in the ceiling, vent off center by 3 inches so we will have another hole made and patched in the ceiling, windows not floated yet...but we have a painter scheduled?? Whatever, but here are some of the highlights: The cabinets do look beautiful and we love the crown!
