the contractor is in miami florida till monday at some conference..<my guess boobs beer and beach conference>.... hopefully he will return dw call then, so we can get an idea of how ,when he plans on starting. theres a couple things he said but we really dont see or understand on the estimate ... we are figuring a couple weeks before they start, but could be wrong. theres a lot of prep work that needs to be done
1. repairing the sheetrock
2. re- insulating the walls
3. painting the walls
4. pulling up the old carpet
we have picked out the carpet, a medium forest green
picked out the vinyl a dark oak plank pattern
picked out the countertop...a cream mascarello marble laminate
as for the cabinets thats one of the things we dont understand yes we know that the lower ones are being replaced, but he mentioned something about the upper cabinets as well.
we looked at lowers we the finished ones we did not like, but found ones that are unfinished oak..figuring on staining them in either golden oak or a dark oak..we would have to stain them ourselves since that was not in the bid... we are good with that.
found a side by side fridge that will fit through the front door at lowes 900.00. but we will need to remove the storm door, the front door, laundry room door, plus the doors and door mounts will need to be removed on the fridge by doing this there will be 1/4" clearance....
of course lowes does not have one in stock, their website says 3-7 day to get to them and then need to arrange delivery... no fridge for thanksgiving, so all leftovers will be going home with ds..
but while out for breakfast told the dw that doing the dishes in the tub is getting real old, so once home put a bandaid on the sink cabinet and the damaged countertop,put it into place popped the sink in hooked up water....bam somewhat normal
the only thing i need to do is put some duct tape along the tile and counter as a water barrier...dont need any water damage at this point.
have a little leak around one of the sinks, so going to to put some sealant around it, since we are suppose to get a new sink.
crap spoke too soon the water shut offs are leaking... see what the insurance company says or 1-800 joe plumber out of our pocket....
happy saturday everyone
