Remember when I said that I was looking forward to not having to schlepp building supplies all over? After I posted that I did the following:

went to tile store to pick up our order
hauled all tile into the house (heavy!)
ran to Home Depot to pick up vanity
hauled vanity into the house

Boy, this is living!

to answer the comment on my last post — I said that I re-cluttered the den! I need my things! :)

My MIL and I got the room painted! It looks great — so much better than what it was. As with all of my house projects, once they are done I wonder how I ever lived with them the way they were and for so long! It had been nine long years since I last painted that room — yikes! homeowner makes vow not to wait so long next time Any of you who have been here are probably wondering if I got all of those knick knacks put back — yes! spent the better part of the morning re-cluttering.

In other exciting house news, the contractor called and the bathroom project will be launched tomorrow! Most of you know that John and I do everything ourselves. He does excellent work — could be a contractor himself — and our house is wonderful because of his talents. However, I am so looking forward to having someone else do this job — someone else cleaning up the reconstruction messes, someone else schlepping everything in and out of the house, someone else doing it and having it be done in a matter of weeks rather than months! the contractor comes highly recommended, so hopefully I won’t have any nightmares
