It's going to be a long, busy, distracted week

 

This week ServiceMaster will be repairing the holes they made in our walls to dry out the house after our little flood adventure last year.  Hopefully, that'll be done by the end of the week.

While that's going on, we've had to choose different flooring from that we originally selected, because the wholesaler lied to our dealer and told him he could deliver the quantity required - but couldn't.  We spent a couple of weeks looking through alternatives, contacting wholesalers and demanding assurances that our choices were available, and trying to ensure we weren't left dangling again.  All being well, our selected flooring should be in town by the end of this week.  That means next week will be taken up with scraping off the old tile, smoothing and leveling the floor, and laying new vinyl plank flooring in our kitchen and dining area.  (We've already taken care of the other bits and pieces.)

Once all that's done, hopefully within ten days to two weeks from today, we'll have ServiceMaster make a final pass to install new baseboard on top of the new flooring:  then it's hey-ho to move everything back into the kitchen and pantry, and start living in the house again, so to speak.

Unfortunately, all this work means it's going to be a very disorganized couple of weeks.  I'll try to put up a blog post or two as and when I have time, but regular schedules simply can't be maintained for a few days.  Please excuse the disorganization, and enjoy the bloggers listed in the sidebar.

Whuh? Nothing for our meme addiction? (sniff)

I understand Peter, duty first, pleasure later.

I've been married long enough to understand "A happy wife is a happy life".

Both of us have lived in the bush long enough not to fuss about pretty flooring as long as the roof doesn't leak.

Will be interesting to see what your muse brings you after this little distraction :-)
