The walls have measles

Today was a busy day, I'm glad I had to go in to the office. Poor Mark worked from home while we had carpenters, painters and who knows who else here working. The painters got all the prep work done, patching the walls and ceilings. They all look like they have measles.

I was surprised the painter wanted to start before the flooring or the tiling was done, but when we talked he mentioned that if he didn't start now it would be a month before he could get here. I wasn't willing to wait a month. The theory is if there's any touchup that needs to be done after the flooring and tiling is done he can quickly take care of that.

The painter, Michale Parker, is a true salesman. We weren't going to remove the popcorn from the laundry room, but man, a short talk with him and whamo, popcorn ceiling is history. I'm really glad I didn't let him see any other room. I think the color choices are going to rock, you'll have to let me know what you think when this is all over.

Vince, the carpenter from Kitchen and Bath Galleries will be here tomorrow to work on the "punch list". Since both Mark & I have to go to the office tomorrow I'm hoping he's got a list of every concern. If not, he'll be back....
