Huge Day

This will be a huge day. I have to make coffeecake for church breakfast this morning and then attend church. After church we will probably eat out somewhere. Then I will write my notes in the afternoon. This evening at 6:00 we have a "Living the Questions" supper over at Wanzer's house. I have to make salad for that.

I painted for several hours yesterday afternoon with Leslie, Cyndi and Jeff. The painting is really shaping up and I believe that's all she's going to do of it until they finish and she gets the furniture in there. The walls everywhere else are just "knock down" and white. The great room is a green/brown and the master bedroom is a shocker. The ceiling is cream, three walls are a bright gold and one wall is cinnamon. It is bright but it should be interesting when the furniture is in there. Those are the colors in the new bedspread. The carpet in there will be beige. There will be hardwood floors in the breakfast room, great room, dining room, walk in closet, upstairs hall and office upstairs. There will be tile in the kitchen, bathrooms, utility room and foyer. The three bedrooms will be carpeted with the same carpet.

The kitchen is slowly getting finished. She had to return the sink for another that had to be ordered. The contractor cracked it. They said it was already that way but it has been out of the box several times and was never cracked before so somehow, they cracked it. They have the under the cabinet lighting in and the cabinets are finished. There's still an awful lot to do though. They are laying tile in the master bathroom now and also putting the tile on the walls around the shower enclosure. They sure seem to move slow and they never seem to finish one job before moving on the the next one. The outside cement board siding is only half painted and the brickwork has only just begun. They are trimming out the windows downstairs but haven't done the ones upstairs. There is no water in the house yet.

It will be a great looking house when it's finished...if it ever gets finished.
