Time well spent

It's been a while since my last post, but I promise that the time has been well spent.

Construction started today at 8:01 am on the new kitchen - woohoo!! According to C, the contractor showed up on time and starting breaking through the walls looking for pipes. Apparently his first comment was that the walls were thicker than he thought. This is an old house after all, and I suppose they don't make them like they used to. Anyway, the water pipes were found right where they were suspected to be (phew!!) so he said he would get going on the plumbing today.

I think I'm going to be nervous about this whole project until it's done. As I said, this is an old house so hopefully everything will go as planned without any nasty surprises. Fingers crossed and I'll fill in the details as they come.

In other news, I painted the upstairs bathroom a few weeks back. I'm happy with it and it looks so much cleaner and brighter than before, although I wish I was a little more careful with the poly fila. I can't help but look up at the patches on the ceiling whenever I'm in there. Oh well, I don't think anyone else will notice. It was good practice anyway and I'll be sure to be more careful with hole filling in the kitchen.
