End of Week 12-August 27, 2016

It has been a week of small projects and touch ups. But there is light at the end of the tunnel as they say. Before I show pictures from this week I want to include two from last week. The railing installers had said they had never had to do a corner like this before. Now they can say they have!


We pretty much spent Monday and Tuesday going through some things here and getting ready for the movers on Wednesday. But we did have Peter here Tuesday morning to install trim on some areas on the upstairs floor.

Then later that day Peter and Greg put up the grab bars, towel bars etc in the 2 baths.



On Wednesday the movers met Galen shortly after 7 AM at our storage unit to load up furniture. It was a little bit of a challenge as we had 2 units-one from when we moved 
dad out of his apartment last November and then ours for the remodel. There was somethings in each coming here. I stayed home as we figured with both of us there it would be more of a hassle! Galen and the guys got here about 9:30.

Not much left in the truck by the time I took this picture. Great group of guys. They left about noon after beds and all were put together. We spent the rest of Wednesday and Thursday unpacking.
One of the bedrooms was designated for boxes

On Friday Lynn was back with his son to put trim on our steps going to the second floor. Also put some trim on the deck ceiling.

If you remember earlier pictures there was a little white showing in the front of the steps. Greg got a piece of trim, stained it to match. The guys put it in on Friday.

The painter was here in the morning and covered walls etc around the railings.

He was back late Friday to put the first coat of paint on the railings.
 While he was working inside we got to try out the deck. Tilly seems pretty comfortable but only for pictures!
 Since it was National Dog Day they both got to try out the new chairs.
 Then back to their beds so we could try out the new chairs!
We had can lights installed for when we really want light, but also bought fans with lights. Really nice and mellow with the fan lights on.

The painter was back this morning to put the second coat of paint on the railing. The first coat is still tacky so he will be back tomorrow to do the second coat, paint the trim on the deck and any touch ups we need from moving things around.
