Home Improvements Days 16 and 17

The painters moved in yesterday, and there wasn’t much to show for it – a lot of prep and some undercoat. Today they finished the undercoat and we are all set for top coats over the next couple of days. The builders installed some bench tops.

The appliances arrived today. There is no power yet so they don’t do anything. Apparently the oven was a very tight fit and some adjustments were needed.

The kitchen door is now described as “mostly painted.” The bench is new.

The painters hope to finish up on Thursday, a day earlier than expected. Tomorrow, I think the electricians are rocking up to put in new wires to the pole. It would be nice if they can do the power points etc. We will see!

Quote for the Day

The weak must not judge the strong, the strong must not despise the weak. The weak must guard against pride, the strong against indifference. None must seek his own rights. If the strong person falls, the weak one must guard his heart against malicious joy at his downfall. If the weak one falls, the strong one must help him rise again in all kindness. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
