Our kitchen contractor (mostly) finished work today. (Mostly because he's ordered a tricky bit of ductwork for the above-stove fan, which is now a bit off centre, and he'll come once more to install it after its arrival.) What this means for us is ... we finally have our house back!
No more air compressor and miscellaneous boxes and rubbish in our front room. (I think its proper name is the family room, to distinguish it from the living room. I'm still confused.) We cleared out the room and I vacuumed it, then got to unpacking it, including my hi-fi. It's great to hear the girls again after weeks in captivity. First song: Bjork, Human Behavior. (The song was nearly over before Sarah rushed down to hit Next. She's getting slow.) The bass was boomy at first, but adding spikes between the stands and speakers helped some. Margo won't let me put the floor spikes in because of our new hardwoods. Some people have strange priorities. There's more echo in the room than I'm used to, though I'm sure I'll adapt. First album: Massive Attack, Heligoland, lossless. Still listening as I type on the pad with a bit of Merlot.
A lot got done today. Under-cabinet lighting was installed. The kitchen bench was put together. The kitchen's sliding door was restored. A new cabinet was installed above the laundry in the basement washroom. Lots of laundry was done. And Margo has just one more carload of stuff to get from the old house.
But we're pretty much done!
