Day 9 (Tuesday 10/13/09)
Adam, Greg and Heller all came over to help me get baseboards installed in all the rooms that will be carpeted. As it turns out, we are not finish carpenters. We mis-cut a lot of pieces, but there in and that's all that matters. I also learned how to load a nail-gun with no help, just luck.
On a less than cool note, I discovered that the new mirrored doors do not fit in the new closet. This is going to be an issue. The door hole is too short for standard doors. Oops.
Kari finished up some more painting and we're ready for carpet.
Day 10 (Wednesday 10/14/09)
I took another day off of work to be at the house when the carpet guys came. They were pretty fast and did a great job. New carpet! Yay! We now have soft "sugar cookie" color carpet under foot in the bedrooms and living room. Starting to look like a home.
Day 11 (Thursday 10/15/09)
Kari spent the night packing while I went finished the new master closet. Forgot a few pieces at Home Depot, but will stop and get them on Friday.
It took me a good little while and I'm not entirely sold on the quality of the Closet Maid products, but they're in and look pretty good.
I also put in some more baseboards too.
Jeff came over to show me some lighting and fan books (lots of books). I finally got home a little after midnight and was pretty spent. Move-in day draws near. Much work still to be done.
