Not to belabor camels, but it is hump day. And I am just dragged out. Brad the contractor and I went to Lowe's yesterday. In a matter of minutes I had picked out my appliances, foregoing the black in favor of smudge resistant stainless steel. Wowzer!!! The gas range has a convection oven and a built-in fifth burner that has a grill/griddle plate, which can also convert to a larger gas burner. Ah, the refrigerator has doors of steel, with an ice and water dispenser in the door. Cool dishwasher and microwave, all matching, but of course. All on sale for 10% off with an additional 5% off on my newly acquired Lowe's card, which I am certain will get lots of use. We then bummed around the store for about two more hours, picking out a back splash for the kitchen (3 possible designs), and I spent about five minutes convincing him of the need for a complete bathroom tear out and a water saving toilet (1.2 gals a flush as opposed to the current 3 gals a flush now). Got rid of the pedestal sink and picked out an oak vanity and top, faucets (got a really cool one for the kitchen), an oak cupboard for above the toilet. A nice oak mirror in place of a medicine chest (well, I have the oak cupboard over the toilet, yes????). Switch plates, outlets, light fixtures, a new screen door for the back of the house. Vinyl floor for the landing to the basement and out the back door.
Brad and his electrician are completely rewiring the kitchen today and working on the bathroom. Additionally Friday we go to McDaniels' to approve the kitchen and get the cabinets ordered. The livingroom is getting rewired to accommodate a ceiling fan and light. Flush mounts for the other lights. Floors will get done and painting. Shooting for a move-in party for opening day of baseball season. April 6th...y'all come.
