Rainy days caused many delays back in October when it rained and rained and rained some more. "Once we get the walls in and roof up," says the contractor, "there will be nothing to slow us down." Except maybe some rain.
Today's rain has caused the painting of the front porch to come to a grinding halt. No trimwork and no gutters because of the rain, and we could have really used the gutters today. The heavy rain also caused the wood for the floors to not be delivered, so one more lost day there. Hope he is ready to lay the floors on Friday so we can trip all over each other while I am trying to paint. He did pull up some of the boards so he can tie old floors into the new floors. He also brought over a huge Shop-Vac; the only sub-contractor so far to be somewhat concerned about the mess he will make.
I did pick up the IKEA bed we managed to snag off Craigslist earlier in the week. Perfect shape and it broke down nicely to fit in the car. That's probably where I should have left it because there was no room for it in the house, especially with a little bit of wall sanding, floor sanding, and painting still to do. I feel like our house is on big puzzle, the type of puzzle that has 15 pieces in a square with one piece missing. You have to move all of the pieces around in order, one at a time, until you find the perfect picture in the end. Is the end coming soon?
