Are We There Yet?

No, we are not there yet, but we are close. Our electrician has the inspection scheduled for Monday, August 10, 2009 at 10:00 am. So that light just might be power being connected.

Lynn worked nearly the entire afternoon grouting the downstairs shower. It turned out great. She and the girls also cleared out the floor in the kitchen, laundry room and pantry in preparation for the installation of the fiberboard and tile.

Brent spent the first part of the morning unloading fiberboard he purchased in Chattanooga and then took Jessica to the Lowes in Shelby, NC to purchase the tile. They picked up 40 boxes containing 16"x16" tiles that will go in the kitchen, laundry room and pantry. Rumor has it that they had a fun time pushing the loaded down flatbed carts in Lowes. Brent's cart was so heavy a Lowe's employee helped him push it to the register. When the truck arrived at Zelda is was riding a lot lower.

Brent then spent the majority of his day, helping our electrician ring out all the circuits in anticipation of the inspection. Everything seemed to check out fine.

Brent and the girls then laid down the fiberboard in pantry. Brent did the cutting and placement of the fiberboard and the girls took turns using the drill. Neither of them had used any power tools and did a great job of screwing down the fiberboard.

Afterwards, we all help to unload the tile and stack in the pantry room. Wow, those boxes were heavy. Next week we are taking a break from Zelda. Not that we are a taking a break, but the girls are heading back to the University of Tennessee for their sophomore year. So instead of working at Zelda, we will be moving the girls into the dorm. We sure will miss their help at Zelda.
