Well, after making some progress on the tile in the bathroom, the crew must have decided that they'd earned some vacation time because they've been a complete no-show for nearly a week. I'm sure anyone who's dealt with contractors (or more specifically, sub-contractors) can sympathize. When I called to complain to the General contractor he was as surprised as I was that the tile wasn't done. The guy's tile saw is still at my house, so I know he's not busy with another job. Grrrrr....
On the bright side, at least he did get started in the Master bathroom before vanishing.

They only other thing that the contractors have done is to move some electrical lines where can lighting is being replaced with regular vanity lighting the bathroom, and to start on moving the gas line to the fire place so the new tile work doesn't close off the access valve.
Other than that, all the work in the house this week has actually been be me and the previous owner (Greg). Greg is nearly finished with all the window sills, except for a few in the entry way above the front door.
Terri and I want to replace the vanity sink and cabinet in the guest half bath, but we will be doing that ourselves. The (beautiful) wallpaper has been removed and this week I pulled the old pedestal sink out so the painters can patch and paint behind it before I put the new one in.
The old wallpaper has been unceremoniously torn from the walls
The old sink is out, yay!
My current task is to go through the house and replace all the electrical outlets and switches. They are ivory colored and we want to change to white. It's slow and tedious.....
Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next time!
