All the painting got finished today and we paid the contractor. then I called the carpet place to let them know we were ready. She said that they will place the order next Monday and it takes 2 weeks for it to come in!!!!!!!! I want it now! So I guess this weekend we go carpet shopping again. But my husband is right in that the combined cost of the contractor and carpet would kind of deplete our savings. If we waited the two weeks we would hhave his paychaeck and my monthly SSD check. Don't you hate it when husbands are right? I just want to make sure everything is done by Thanksgiving. That doesn't give me much time to decorate.
