I haven't even been at my computer for almost a week. Lots going on here...Beth and I had our new vinyl flooring put down this past week and that has caused mayhem here. They started last Monday by ripping up all the old vinyl, underlayment, and 11 sheets of particle board that had old water damage. And you would not believe how much mold and mildew was under there. So we were unable to live here because of that...and the water heater was moved out to the garage as well so we had no hot water. Tuesday and Wednesday they didn't even show up because the flooring shop had overbooked the subcontractors and they had to be somewhere else. But we stayed with friends Wed. and Thursday night. Monday we were at the Ramada for the big game (the final score was too high, so I lost the office pool tiebreaker... oh well!) and Tuesday as well. So anyway, we have all new vinyl down in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and dining room, and Monday begins the kitchen cabinets installation. And the carpets all come next week too. And by the way, I learned how to solder copper piping this week. Truly, that is an art.
