This was not a good week to schedule work such as painting outdoors at Zelda. It rained and was chilly the entire week. The only day it did not rain was Friday, so Brent finished caulking the west side of Zelda. It was too windy to paint, so no painting was performed this week.
We did rearrange our work schedule and moved all activities inside. We now have a working washer and dryer downstairs which has been used more than once. We also have a working kitchen sink with garbage disposal and the dishwasher has been installed. One of the two (2) master bathroom sinks is not operable and about 1/3 of the master bathroom shower flooring has been installed.
Lynn grouted the entire kitchen floor and removed all the old paint off one of the original mantles that we had in Zelda. On one of our trips to Lowes and Home Depot, we discovered some marble tile on sale. Brent bargained with the manager and took all the remaining marble ( 170 sf) at $2.00 per square foot. This was about 60% off the original price. The marble is a black with white grains and will go in the entrance foyer.
With the rain gone on Friday, Lynn went by Lowes and picked up all the remaining 37 boxes of hardwood flooring that we had purchased in the summer. For some reason Lowes did not want to store our flooring anymore after we had them hold our kitchen cabinets for over a year. Go figure. The total amount of boxes of wood flooring is 75 with each box containing 20 sf. The total boxes of marble we purchased was 22 with each box containing 10 sf.
