I told you previously about the broken water line and the flood in our house. Repairs are progressing, more slowly than we would like, but actually at a reasonable pace.<\/p>\n
All the walls have been repaired, and painted. We took this opportunity to change the colors in all of the rooms that were being repainted anyway. We had to pay extra since it required two coats in most places instead of one, but still the insurance company is paying for over half the painting bill.<\/p>\n
And we are going to upgrade the flooring. We’ll keep carpet in the guest room so our guests can enjoy stepping out of bed onto softness, but we’re replacing the vinyl in the bathroom and laundry room with tiles, and replacing the carpet in the family room and my office with laminate. We chose a laminate that looks a lot like wood, at least to my and Gisele’s eyes.<\/p>\n
We’re in limbo right now between painting and flooring, so we still can’t do much in any of those rooms. I temporarily hooked up the washer and dryer, and dug out my computer, but most of the rooms are piled with boxes and furniture. We’re hoping to have everything done within two more weeks — by September 24 or so. That leaves me a week and a half to focus on preparing for the Great Hike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
