27/06: Putting the House Back Together
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
It's been a long week and a half. Once the last coat of polyurethane was put on the floor we had to wait seventy-two hours before we could go in the house to start putting it back together. The 72 hours took us to Sunday afternoon so we decided to extend it to Monday morning. While we were waiting, Ed puttered in his workshop and I painted doors, baseboard and quarter round (it had been removed so we could do the floor). We did manage to sneak away for a half day of geocaching in the Miata.
Knowing we were going to generate a lot of dust, I had held off my spring cleaning so on Monday morning I started cleaning beginning with the kitchen/family room. By Tuesday the kitchen/family room was cleaned and the new cleaned area rug, couch, loveseat, chair and TV were moved back in. Wednesday saw the bathroom and our bedroom get cleaned so we were able to move back into the house. Thursday the spare bedroom was attacked and Anne and Victor came in the afternoon to help install the new overhead fan and play a rousing game of "musical furniture". The dining room and my office were cleaned on Friday and finally on Saturday "stuff" was put back into the closets and laundry area. Feels good to finally have the house back. I even managed to squeeze in cleaning the trailer.
The new light in the kitchen.
New fan in the living room.
The rearranged living room. Took a lot of time to end up with this configuration but I really like. I can't thank Victor enough because without his input I don't think we would have got here.
