I have spent the past three days, including today, cleaning and waxing TheHowserHouse and the F350 in preparation for fall, winter, and a 1-2 week jaunt around Missouri this month. Granted it really needed all the cleaning and waxing, BUT.........late this afternoon I received a phone call from our contractor, and guess what the news was????
He will be here on Monday to begin the demolition of our kitchen, including the wall between the kitchen and our sun room!!!!!!!!!! Originally he had said that it would be November, at least, before he could finish the project he is currently doing, soooooo the phone call was a BIG and a GREAT surprise!!!! Our instructions: remove EVERYTHING in the cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, etc., etc. AND everything from the sun room before Monday!!!!!! OMG.......shades of last spring: where do we put everything???????????????????
The 1st Lady, who is visiting with her mother, was excited.....and, disappointed. Excited that finally we might get this all wrapped up and finished......and disappointed that we will not be able to make this October trip......BUT.......the good news certainly took priority over the disappointment!!!!
Soooooo, she will return later tomorrow and then we will get to work MOVING everything around to make room for the demolition and for the reconstruction. Now I must get hold of our floor man to make an appointment for the hardwood floor to be laid in the kitchen, after the cabinets are in. Then we have to get the granite tiles for the countertop, lights for the ceiling, lights for under the cabs, and two lights for the cabs that will have glass front inserts. A trip to STL is definitely in order for this weekend!!
And with all of this news............
Life is GREAT.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
