Yesterday we headed to the house immediately after church as our new stove and patio door were being delivered. We spent HOURS scraping off the wallpaper in the kitchen. Not a fun job, but we were thankful there is only 1 room of wallpaper to do. Mark put many screws in the floor to get some of the squeaks out of the kitchen. Funny how the room looks worse than ever - slightly a disaster right now!
Today was a slower day. It was all about prep and shopping for odds and ends that any project needed. Jim joined us again and gave great advice on wall prep and on what we need to do to move the dining room light switch to a different wall. We also found out that there is no grounded outlets in the kitchen so we will have to do some rewiring from the main fuse box before we install our garbage disposal. Lots to do and think about.
The good news was that we choose and ordered our counter tops! They will look great. Also, Emily started priming one of the bedrooms while I filled screw holes and sanded the kitchen wall. The kitchen wall just needs to be washed and it can be primed too. Over the next week Emily will be doing some painting at the house (God bless her!) when she's not subbing. Our next big work day will be to cut the hole in the exterior wall for the sliding door and build the frame for the new window in the kitchen.
We pray for God's help with every detail.
