White-Siri Family Blog: Taping, Painting and Lighting...Oh My!!

Today was another day of loads of little work. We need to buy stock at Lowe's. We got new blinds for the living room window. The old ones were two panels of vinyl mini blinds of which one panel had been cut away by the previous occupants and the other panel chewed by their dog. Not pleasant to look at from the curb. We put in the 2" white faux wood blinds which were custom cut to go across the entire window in one full length. MUCH better. We will do those throughout eventually, but right now just the front windows. There is a peek in this pic of the new blinds.

We replaced the chandelier in the dining room with another light fixture type of chandelier and finished painting the walls. I wish the color showed on the pics it's wonderful. We primed all the baseboards throughout and will do the final coat tomorrow.

This morning our construction guy was supposed to come out at 7:30am to tear down the wall between the living room and dining room and he didn't show!!! Miscommunication or something...hmmmm. He promised he would be there tomorrow morning bright and early at 7:30am. I sure hope so we really need this done tomorrow. Tuesday evening the rest of the flooring is going in. If this wall doesn't come down now it's not coming down at all and that will be really disappointing. We'll post an update tomorrow evening. Please pray this goes well because at this point there is a HUGE amount of stress regarding this wall.

There are just a few pics tonight. This is a lot of fun but soooo much work. Our to-do list is getting so long and I am impatient and have to remember a little at a time. The bedrooms and bathrooms are staying as is at this point and the garage to daycare conversion with have to wait just a while too. Next big project will be fencing in the backyard and finding a ride-on mower...pushing a lawn mower across an acre of land is not anyone's idea of fun.
