Move In Day Is Here

It's Friday evening, November 7. I was at the house since 6:45 to finish installing closet shelves and rods. At 9:00, I had to hightail it in rainy weather traffic to Ikea to get some shelf units to replace the ones I bought a month ago because they were the wrong color. I don't know how that happened, but nonetheless, had to go. Then I painted the basement bathroom and installed the two sconces and sealed the grout and cleaned up. By then, Pete had finished installing the shelf units in the living room, so I inserted all the individual shelves, then installed the front cabinet panel at the cooktop and the sink we don't have. Ahhh...... So now I'm finally blogging after not giving ya'll an update for what five days now? Oy!

What a week! After the election Tuesday, I went into the office for an 8:00 meeting and then it's been work on the house almost constantly since then. Ray finished hooking up the rest of the plumbing on Wednesday, and I'll be darned if I wasn't real glad I was there to see it before he left. He had placed the overflow for the water heater on the back side, so that if there ever was a leak, it would go into the baseboard and start rotting out the drywall. Sheesh. "That's where the connection was aimed, so I just went that way" he said. I asked him nicely to put it in the front, lie next to the floor drain and away from the wall. My goodness, one really needs to be careful.
