1 Hour And Counting

The Contractor will be here in 1 hour. We have cleared the sun room. There's nothing in it except the computer and the desk and the chair in which I sit. We felt we would need something to sit on in the morning and since everyone is still in bed and all is quiet I thought I would get up for a back break since my back was giving me agonies in bed. I'm hoping that I'm not going to end up with another episode of nursing my back. Moving furniture around can't be good for it. But in the last three weeks I have been able to wean myself off the anti inflammatories to the point that I'm only taking them when my back is hurting in the morning.... usually about every 4 days or so.... I'm thinking that that's a really good thing considering that I thought I would need more surgery in September. Still, right now my back is hurting but at least the furniture has been removed from the sun room and when the contractor gets here he can get the work done with no interference. I will have a sun room this afternoon where the only tuck tape you see is on the ceiling. (I haven't got enough tiles to put them up yet I have to burn 28 more.

Here are a couple of pictures of what our living room and sun room looks like.

A bit dark down at the end of the sun room but see all that insulation, vapour barrier, and tuck tape.... that's what we won't be seeing anymore.

All of this has to come out yet....

This is the living room under the pile of stuff from the sunroom. It's only for today.

Basically we have nowhere to sit until the contractor is finished. But there's room in the kitchen to get around anyway.

We will still have flooring in both the living room and the sun room to be done and as I said the ceiling tiles will need to be put up after Christmas, but it will be nice to have both of these rooms one step closer to being finished. I was looking in the Home Hardware catalogue last night at light fixtures.... I can't even believe that I'm doing that... it will be awesome to have real light fixtures instead of bare bulbs.... I'll even have electrical outlets in the sun room soon. (well, I had two but there should be five in there.) Suffice it to say that I am very excited.

The bathroom is almost done. I laid the floor in there the day before yesterday with a little help from Teapot around the toilet.  I have to pick up some trim for around the tub today.  I also have to pick up clear coat and a light fixture for our bedroom so that the temporary one can come down to the bathroom where it belongs. Then the bathroom will be done.... finito.... completed..... yeah!!!!

The flooring is something that Teapot and I are really working on.... he and I want the recycled rubber flooring but there is a really good sale on laminate flooring at a local hardware store... we are having a hard time deciding.... I think we've pretty much decided on the recycled rubber flooring but that means that we will have to wait till spring since it is a whole lot more expensive than the laminate.... but in the end there will be the same flooring right through the whole house. Rather than one kind here and one kind there. So I guess we will wait... but it is sooo hard to do.

Anyway... it is now 7:30 a.m. and I need to go and have a shower and get something to eat before the contractor gets here.....

There will be pictures tomorrow... or the next day... depending on when we get the computer rehooked.
