Who knew that one day I would actually look forward to doing laundry! I never would have thought it was possible, but let me tell you… after going 2 months without having a dryer installed, the fact that I now have one working may not quite be reason to celebrate, but it is definitely exciting enough to want to do laundry! On Friday, Rich finished drilling the hole through the cinder block wall, and installing the plug, so that I could finally use my new dryer. I don’t know if I mentioned it previously, but the day after I moved in I had my new Samsung laundry pair delivered. They are High Efficiency, Super Capacity machines and this time, instead of buying the front load machines, I got the top load washer. so far, so good! Seriously though, I can not fathom a family spending all of their lives without proper laundry machines. It is so incredibly convenient to have a dryer, and to know that you can quickly get your clothes, bedding, etc. clean and dry without having them hanging all over the basement.
Anyway, aside from that, I have some progress to report on the kitchen… the tile is pretty much all in place, except where the wall will be coming down, and I think that Jim is coming tomorrow (possibly with a mutual friend, Mark, to help) to do the drywall. So exciting! Here is an in progress photo of the tiles.
By next week, the cabinets should be in place so that I can order up the counter top, seeing as they’re going to take a few weeks to come in. In the meantime, Jim can finish up the other bits – like taking out the wall and putting in the beam.
Oh… my super fun purchase this weekend was these bar stools, which will sit at the island!
I think that’s it for now!
