This lovely bamboo flooring is being installed as we speak. Hy, my dad, and his dad are all there working their butts off to get that floor done. Hy says that is comely along slowly, but that it looks good. I think I want to wait until it's all done. I'm so excited. The only way we could afford it is if we could put it down ourselves. To have someone install it would have been about $4 a square foot. That is more than the flooring cost. Hy is also going to do the tile himself. I told him we could afford to pay someone to do it, but he want to learn himself. So I'm lettiing him. I also let him pick out the tile, because to me all tile is ugly. We're doing carpet in the bedrooms which should be installed on Tuesday. OUr cultured marbe shower walls should be installed on Monday. WHICH MEANS . . . we should be in not this weekend, but the next! Hooray! I still have to paint the bedrooms and the hall, the bathrooms and the closets. But once I feel better that shouldn't be too bad.
Last night I was awake most of the night trying not to swallow. My throat hurts that bad. So today we had a Doctor friend call me in a prescription. Thanks!!! It's nice to have connections. I'll let you know when I feel better, then I'll invite you all to come paint with me.
