Pat has been in Bama all week and has kept me up to date on the progress. Things are not going as well there as I wish. It seems many things are just not coming together as I had planned or visualized. I have spent much time this week trying to come up with alternative plans on many things.. One day I cried bout all day at work, lol. The guy that works with me finally asked if I was OK? I guess he heard my snubbing, lol. He has built a house not too long ago so he understands, lol. I have really not let this remodel get to me until this week, maybe its the outage hours or just the fact that I probably won't get to make the trip I had so looked forward to October 25th.
Today Chris went to meet his Dad in Meridian to get Brooke and she has gotten a new hairstyle and color. I guess she don't like being blonde. It is gonna take some getting use to.
Brooke's new hair style. ....ummm and color, I had nuttin to do with this.
This is the front entry hall to be, lol We have the door but there is much work to be done here. I think they will focus on this area this week as well as finishing the final things in the bedrooms. Carpet on the 20th and I sure hope so.
This is the front entrance to be and seems it will never get where I can tell what it will look like.. we do have the step now. The plan for this coming week is to work on this area but I am thinking that may be inside, getting the rest of the sheet rock ready for the sheet rock man to come back.
This is sewing/ computer room (our old guest bedroom) with ceiling fan. I think they did get crown molding installed here today.
This is Bedroom #3 (our old bedroom) with trim and ceiling fan... final coat of paint and this room is ready for carpet.
The latest pic I have of lakeside. We still have lots to do to be finished with the outside but we do have the rock column finally.
This is the master bedroom with ceiling fan, door and crown molding in place.
This is the potty room of the mater bathroom with ceramic tile for the baseboard.
This is the new guest bedroom with trim, fan and door in place. Another coat of paint on everything and the closet door installed and this room is ready for carpet.
The bathtub is in place and faucets installed. Pat says it works well...however we do not have the hot water heater for the addition installed yet so he has not tried it out.
This is Pat's vanity and closet area. The cabinet I bought to go next to the vanity is not big enough to cover the empty space, so I have to make a decision here.. to keep it or find something different.
The ceramic tile is ready at the bedroom entrance from the deck and waiting for the carpet.
This is the guest bathroom vanity and I was disappointed that it does not fill the area wall to wall.... I may go with a bigger vanity here.... just not happy with the mirror or vanity or faucet, lol and I picked it all out.
The walk in pantry door has been cut and hope to get the sheet rock hung this week. I am anxious to see how this kitchen/dining wall area looks with its new design.
My off day this week was typical ballgames and grocery shopping. I made a mistake by going to home depot picked up the sale paper and saw an ac unit thermostat that says it is for heat pumps. It has the digital temperature indicator like the units at the lakehouse so I bought it. I decided I could install it so I read all the directions and then looked it all over..I did not see what I expected on the installed thermostat so I called the number on the new one and talked with a man who told me what to do and assured me it would work. GUESS WHAT!!!!!! He was wrong... so I spent hours trying to make sure I did exactly what he told me... then decided ok I am hot I will hook up the old one.... Guess what ....I can not get it to work either .... so here I am warmer than I prefer... I have called for help from the man that does our Heat and ac work... Probably be Monday before I hear from him. I think everyone is pissed at me lol but hey it could be worse ... least its not July. Pat would be happy if he was here, he would not be cold, lol. I missed watching Bama play today but enjoyed watching their competitors. It is strange rooting for Florida and Texas, (sorry OKIE family) lol when normally I would be cheering Oklahoma and LSU on.
See ya next week.
