"Murphy's Law" is alive and well with us. On the 18th, we optimistically took the fifth wheel back to the shop to have the new graphics put on. Here it is the 26th - and we are still waiting on our trailer. Obviously our projected departure date of the 27th just won't happen. According to the latest from the shop, a replacement graphic should arrive today, and then has to be put on. The term "we'll ship that right out' turns out to to mean two entirely different things to the shipper - and the recipient. We'll be lucky if we have our trailer back by tomorrow evening - then to pack.
But while we wait, we have not been idle! The extra days at home have allowed us to proceed with the 'changes' in the new house. Most of the old wall paper is down (what a chore!), entryway tile is gone (thanks to Grandpa's jackhammer!), the wall between the kitchen & living room is down, and the new wider door to the bathroom goes in today! We decided that any of the 'dismantling' we could get done, would only help progress for Russ & Randy's projects. I've also been busy trying to choose paint colors - and although it's fun - it's not always easy for Roger and I to 'agree'! Imagine that!
While getting the entry hall tile up has been Roger's biggest challenge, mine has been deciding on what type of counter top to put in the kitchen. So many choices these days! I still haven't decided - and probably won't until this fall. Granite vs. man-made quartz vs. solid surface vs. laminate - makes one's head spin! And the price! We're talking major investment here!
Roger even got to mow his yard once before we leave. Although he tried to make me believe it was 'hard work', it looked like he was having a pretty good time as he surveyed his 'domain' from the seat of Russ' riding lawnmower.
So for me this morning it's off to the dentist, while Roger heads out in search of our new bathroom door.
