This month was, roof, exterior paint, concrete steps, and drywall. There are not that many big things left. Let’s see … deck, trim, floors, tile, kitchen cabinets.

Monday: Memorial Day
Tuesday: Patching and touch-up. I caught the touch-up guy/dog groomer filling in the hole for our phone nook (not sure what that thing is called). Nice job, except, we are keeping it. We figured out what he was supposed to patch; ceiling in the bathroom closet. He was very cool about it and it was easier to take out while it was still wet.
Wednesday: Did a walk-through with the supervisor, tile, door swing direction. Christiane is unable to go to these appointments. I really wish she was with me, we make better decisions when we are together. They textured the walls that evening.
Thursday: Dropped off painting instructions and … and … what in the Sam Hill?!?!? Orange peel. When I did the walk through with the super, I saw in his hands, our materials list from January where we spec’ed light sand texture. In fact, I blogged about the old house and good riddance to the orange peel back in March. But this is not the kind of thing that can be undone. Really, really big sigh.

We got our new bed. We upgraded to a king, which will fit much more comfortably in our new house. Thanks to Christiane’s shopping prowess, we saved enough on the bed and mattress to pay for the pocket door and mosquito killer.

I dropped off paint chips. I hope they get the kitchen painted so I can start work on the cabinets this weekend.

Friday: Paint (pictures later if they actually get it done.)
