Suffice to say that we're in a long, drawn-out, frustrating holding pattern, waiting and with nothing done on the project for essentially three weeks. I can show you little things like our new appliances:
 |
| We didn't want them delivered until they could be installed, but apparently you can only hold off delivery for 30 days, so they're sitting in our garage. |
Look--it's our flooring. When will that be installed? May 3rd. That's also sitting in our garage.
 |
| Not only sitting in the garage, but sitting in the entrance to the garage so it's nearly impossible to enter the garage. |
And we finally got a patio company to call back, to visit, and to give us an estimate. Well, we got two. We decided to go with the second one. They won't schedule us until they receive our downpayment. Not sure when that'll happen, but we bought mulch to surround the new patio whenever it comes.

| Super great deal on mulch so we stocked up |
I know I shouldn't complain. I feel unbelievably lucky to be able to do a remodel. This is the remodel we've been waiting for over 15 years (since we bought the house and said we'd get rid of all the pink stuff). My complaints are so minor in the scheme of things. But I'm sick of doing dishes here:
And my makeshift countertop in a kitchen with no outlets, so we have to run an extension cord from the living room:
And eating on a card table in the living room:
And using plastic bins for makeshift cabinets--also in the living room:
It was fun for a little while to camp in our own home, but I am *so over it*!
New photos next week, as the countertops, electrical and plumbing SHOULD be done by the end of the week. Fingers crossed.
