JUDY: just keep thinking of what it is going to look like when it
is done.

The dirt and mud can be cleaned up and you know that when it
is over there will be no more dirt and mud and workers walking all over
the house, only the beautiful house that you created.

That is how I have been keeping my sanity since January when the
remodeling started in my house. The bad weather held up the work. I
had an addition added also. Bad weather "no work" It is going fast now

So just keep dreaming of the beautiful AFTER you are going to have.

So far, so good!!! Must be all of your good thoughts coming my way! They started with the tile since that takes longer letting everything dry along the way. Sally -- these are really nice people (the local owner and his helper) and sound like the guys you had there. Today they did half the kitchen and foyer so I have room to let my little dog out in the garage to do her business and also a path for my chair to get to the 'fridge, sink, microwave, etc. It looks beautiful and I'm enjoying watching the process so far!

I don't think this hardwood will be slippery as it's hand scraped. The boards are wider than the usual and picked out a dark brown. For me it doesn't matter if they are slippery since I'm in my "chair" all the time. I did check to make sure it wouldn't leave marks on either surface and if my little fur-baby has an accident, it won't soak in.
Later today (Wednesday) they're finishing laying the tile and will begin pulling up the old carpet.....and yes, there's a layer of dust on everything, but I'm looking the other way!!! LOL!!

Big HGTV fan here too! Wish I was healthy, would love to try flipping! The painter hasn't started yet but guess he has to wait until the dust settles before beginning.

Today the floor guy, Roger, asked if he could have a local photographer take pictures of the finished product for their website and in-store advertising. Of course I said sure -- as long as I get the "royalties"!! Just kidding!!

My cleaning ladies/friends will be here today too for "packing up" stuff, like all the breakables in the china cabinet, knick-knacks, etc. I like all sorts of Victorian decor and have alot! The kitchen is Tuscan style.

Guess I'd better get to sleep. Being a night owl, that's been the hardest thing, getting up early. Keep those good thoughts coming!!!! Love you all!!

I'm glad you have considerate workers..

Be sure to get copies of those pictures..
