Not much new on the home front today. I moved the blog around a little and updated some stuff on the side. A couple more of the blogs that I frequent or that belong to new/old friends. Some are sad, some make you hungry, some give you strength and others are just there.
We have been redesigning the kitchen some more. I think my Rich (FIL) nailed it on the head. Judy (MIL) didn't think we had enough pantry space so we've spent the last couple of days huddled around the Ikea design software trying to fit in more space while keeping the open feel and not totally using up the dining space. The cabinets are going to stay arranged just as they are there now, the addition will come in adding a tall slide out cabinet to the left, where the island is sitting now, then we will make an L shaped island attached to that. For the couple of you that have seen the house, it puts the island part under the opening between the dining and living room. I measured it out today and it works well in the space.
Then we went over and met with a cleaning company to see if they could help us out at all. Apparently most of these places don't clean walls, so we are paying them a ton of money to clean the bathrooms, dust the baseboards, clean 1 ceiling fan, 2 sets of blinds and an oven. As much as I would love to have these tasks gone, it's just not worth it! So off to Walmart this week to pick up some good scrub brushes, buckets, gloves and cleaners. Then over to Lowes for some wall wash/prep stuff so we can have a good painting surface.
We should be closing this week, Wed/Fri. So my weekend will be cleaning and demo! YAY!
Sooner it's out, the sooner we can start painting, then adding a kitchen back, then flooring and finally moving in!
