Well Monday saw lots of changes to the house after the carpet ripping out party on Sunday. Our installers got here around 11'ish and stayed until 4:30 and did they ever make a beautiful change to the flooring. They are a young husband and wife team and very conscientious with their work and very pleasant to be around. They did most of the living and dining rooms and we are wowed with the difference and the flooring looks just like old sawed boards.
I was up at my usual before 6 and did my morning routines that started with a cup if hot tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble. I then spent some quiet with my Creator in thanksgiving and prayer for others and for those I know who are hurting. Paw Paw was discharged from the VA and sent back to the Winchester area for some care at a facility where he will get some attention for his immobility due to the hip. I got ready and headed out on my bike for a workout on the pickle ball courts for an hour or so.
The installers got right to work and where thrilled I had removed the carpet, tack strips and cleaned the floors which put them way ahead of schedule in laying the floor. They installed an underlayment and then soon had enough of the front room completed so we could move the furniture on to it. I worked on replacing all of the electrical outlets and switches which was quite chore and then putting face plates on. I gave the recently grouted backsplash a final shinning and it turned out beautiful as well. I ordered a new fridge that Nancy wanted so it should come within a week or so as it comes from the manufacturer at Whirlpool. It will be a close fit into where the old one now sits and I will move it into the garage where I will get rid of the 40 year or so freezer. Things are moving right long with the redo.
Well after the installers left we headed to Home Depot once again for wax rings for the toilets as they will be removed and reinstalled after the flooring goes down and a few other items. I want to refurbish one commode as it seems to leak when we come back whenever we are away for the summer. The rubber seal dries out between the tank and the bowl. Well we finished up some egg rolls and a salad for supper and then I watered the gardens and we finally sat on the couch and watched the Fox Cable News before I headed into a hot shower. By 10'ish I was ready for some horizontal lab, LATER
