With the new baby the days have been a blur. These are the things that happened over the last 2 weeks.
1. The Garden Tub. This is a big (expensive) screw up. Somehow our contractor thought that, because we wanted a garden tub in the master bath, that meant we did not want a shower. The tub he installed cannot be used for a shower. It will certainly leak, onto the kitchen. The new tub costs twice as much and takes 14 days to ship. Ugh. This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to avoid when I drew every room by hand. At least he caught this before tile went in. (Even better, thank goodness he’s the kind of guy who has to do things the right way. We wouldn’t have known anything was wrong until the ceiling fell in.)

2. We made our Rejuvenation order. Doorbell, mailbox, two lights, two shades. It’s going to be one glorious box of chrome.

3. They started the deck. What a difference a joist makes. Or is that a beam?

4. They finished the floors. We really like the guy doing our floors. He had the crew pull out boards with flaws that I wouldn’t have noticed. And they fixed a mistake in the transition from the living room to the kitchen.

5. We speced out these $3 jelly jar porch lights for above and below the deck. Not because we liked them, but because we didn’t like anything else. The electrician put them in the wrong place, but after looking at them for a few days, we decided to keep them. They are surprisingly nice and we can have some fun customizing the glass. Next time I buy jelly, I’m bringing a tape measure.

6. Baby baby baby.
