A Clean Slate

The slate floor in Kattrina and Brian's bathroom has been laid and, so far, has been going in far more efficiently than Scott's, which has run into a few bumps that should be ironed out this week. The cherry flooring continues to be put down at a rollicking pace, and the upstairs will likely be done this week.

The air conditioning is working great, although some unknown mischievous gremlin keeps turning it down to a chilly 70 degrees. If the culprit is reading this, you will be found! And flogged!

The washer, dryer and dishwasher are set to arrive today and Duane, the kitchen cabinet guy, is back from Idaho and ready to start installing next week, afterwhich he will take another vacation. His priorities are completely correct and I applaud him.

As for the electrician, who knows. All we hear are crickets.
