Counters are mostly in.

We came home Monday to almost all the counters in. Just the top part of the island is missing. Theresa said they seem to plastic looking. I told her that with a bit of wear that they will dull down slightly and get the look that we saw at the home improvement stores. Our counters are NEW and with anything that is plastic/resin base NEW looks shiney. Give it time. I think they look nice.

No word from the contractor when the carpet will be removed from the driveway or when new flooring will be put back in.

Disaster in December

If you have been wondering why there have been no posts there have been 2 reasons: smallish, almost hidden work being done and a major disaster. Seems there was a slight over sight in NOT putting in a sump pump nor gutters. St Louis got hit real hard by a freezing rain then show storm. There was so much water it didn't have anywhere to go - but our new basement. Theresa and I then spent the rest of the weekend, after the contractor came and installed a pump, moving stuff to higher ground and removing all the carpet. Our next task is to inventory all the damaged goods.


Here is a walk through of all the damage.
