Mornin’ TNBers!
All is well here. Still going full steam ahead on the rehab. Good news: Windows are in! Woot! It only took 18 weeks! Not so good, but could be worse news: They arrived in the city March 8, but can’t be delivered to the house until the 22nd. Lol. The installer could have picked them up, but since he can’t get us on his schedule until March 26 it is a moot point.
It could be worse, we could still be stuck in the queue at the manufacturer’s in Utah. They are done, they shipped, they are here. They will be installed. I’m taking the win. š
Meanwhile, water and drain pipes for dishwasher have been replumbed and moved into the wall and grounding electric and new switches and outlets are done. The hubs came in to deck the countertops for counter install and build a cabinet around the dishwasher and we have a concrete floor in the (semi) basement room we’re going to cover with that floating vinyl flooring stuff so, we have busy work keeping us occupied for the countdown to window install day.
Moving on.
Side note fun before we dive in, I thought this was a cool latest news video update from NASA.
To finish up Wednesday, March 16 post post-time Biden Bits, @POTUS tweeted another 19! times and retweeted @WhiteHouse twice.
