Progress! Progress! Progress!

As many of you know, home improvement schedules must be flexible and tasks are often completed more slowly than one hopes. The good news is that our floors are being installed on time!! Ryan Williams, the man installing the floors, said he would begin today, and he did. Feel free to jump around in your chair and cheer. I am.

(Yes, I am responsible for the deforestation of a small forest.)

This is one of the piles of flooring that was delivered on Friday. The piles of flooring got me excited, and I can hardly wait to go over and see the floors this evening. Hopefully, they will get most of the installation done today. They will come back tomorrow to sand and put on the first layer of stain. 

While Ryan Williams stuck to his schedule, the rest of us have fallen slightly behind. We were hoping that before the floors were installed, we would get the walls and ceilings painted. As you can tell from the strip of wall that is visible above the pile of wood, this plan was a little overly ambitious. The walls did not get sprayed. BUT, the ceilings did! (For sanity and morale, it is important to focus on the positive)

This is the ceiling in the dinning room. This is the only room that had crown molding, and we were able to prime it while we sprayed the ceilings. I wish we had a picture of the ceiling pre-paint so you could see the comparison. Just use your imagination and picture a swatch of ceiling that is slightly yellow (or if you have not painted your ceilings in the past 10 years, just look up). 

With the ceilings painted and the floors going down, things are really beginning to move. Hopefully, we will make our June 1st move-in date. Fingers crossed.

Tune in tomorrow for more flooring progress and to see the project I will be tackling this week.

Happy Monday!
