Mid-Week Three

It is an excruciatingly slow process. There was a big flurry of activity first thing this morning. The two drywallers, two carpenters,and Walter, the contractor, were all here. Great anticipation because this morning the cabinets were scheduled to arrive.

Wendell and Ernie finished mudding and sanding the kitchen walls and ceiling. For an extremely messy job, they do a really good job of cleaning up.
"Wendell specializes in dustless drywalling," Ernie informed me. And it was indeed pretty dustless. They will need to come back to cover the hole remaining from the old flourescent fixture. They thought something was going to be there. Also, the laundry room needs to be finished. When done, they vanished - no word, no sound.

Steve the electrician didn't come today. I suspect he is still dealing with the tree that landed on his house yesterday morning when the big winds blew through.

And the cabinets no-showed. I finally gave up around 4:30pm and left the house to ship orders at the post office (talk about excruciatingly slow). This defines the process I think. Anticipation and disappointment. But I remain hopeful - maybe tomorrow.
