Closets

Over the last week the painting has been finished and the closets are now complete.

I have installed the closet organizer in the master closet. It is very elegant and we thank the girls for their generosity.

It took most of 2 days to assemble and install all of the components. The directions were kind of ambiguous and it was a trial and error approach to the installation. But I figured it out and all came together.
I also installed the closet shelving in the spare bedroom and both the linen closet and pantry. It was time consuming and they turned out well.

Tuesday and Wednesday I installed the toilet paper holders and the towel racks in both bathrooms, while Brenda was cleaning the sinks, bath tub and shower. She also cleaned all of the baseboards in the cottage. She spent several hours on the project and the house is getting cleaner.

We also dust mopped all of the floors and wet mopped them. They are surely shiny. I think that they need to be done again so I will do that again tomorrow.

We still await MLGW.

Ta ta for now.

Getting close

The plumbers have finished with their installation of the fixtures. All is well. We can take a cold shower now..... No electricity to heat the water......
The sheet rock is all fixed,  no more holes and all of the blemishes are fixed.
All of the areas of blue paint are finished. Mike and Barb are doing all of the painting and will start finishing the yellow paint tomorrow morning. We hope to install the towel bars and TP hangers tomorrow also.
All of the trim is finished. It is a beautiful white and really stands out aginst the wall colors.

The air conditioner is installed. The thermostat is installed. The outside unit is charged. Just need electricity to test it and run it.
MLGW now has their money. Now waiting for them to come and install service from pole so that we can call the electricians back to finish their work  so that MLGW can and will hook up the power to the cottage. Everyone we have talked to that relies on MLGW to provide power for their services has said the same thing. They do things on their own time.

Kitchen sink is in

everything works except a COLD shower

good job

nice landscaping

Barb has started on the landscaping in the front of the cottage. She was stopped until the sidewalk is installed.

I have started on the installation of the beautiful closet organizer that our daughters got us for a housewarming gift. I need to get some more parts so that I can finish it.
I have installed the shelf and clothes hanger for the guest BR. It looks great. It is all one piece.
I have started the pantry shelving and will finish that tomorrow.

Mike & Barb are going to Houston for a few days, so Brenda and I will be caring for the Barb's kitties and the horses in their absence. Mike hopes to have all of the painting finished before they leave. I hope to get all of the window treatments up while they are gone.

The concrete guys were here today to prepare for the pouring of the apron for the garage and the side walk. They also prepared an area in the greenhouse for a slab for our work shop. We need to get all of the tools etc. out of the barn in preparation for boarding horses in the spring.
They will be back to pour the concrete in the morning. They do nice work.

Adam came out last Sunday and we finished terminating all of the low voltage. It did not take as long as we had anticipated and we got it completed in about 5 hours. We still need to install the WiFi antenna and access point and a router but that can come anytime.
Beth Whitehead is in Memphis to visit an old high school friend and spent the day with us yesterday. We really enjoyed her visit and we hope she enjoyed as much as we did. We haven't seen her in about 4 years.

Ta ta for now.
