Until I get my house! YAY! It is getting so close and I am getting so excited, I can hardly contain myself.
This coming weekend, I need to do some comparison shopping on a few items. I want to get a new tv. My little 21" tv is not going to cut it anymore. I want something big and fancy and HD ready (since I want to get HD satellite). I also need to get a DVD/VCR combo, and look into prices for a phone and answering machine. Should be fun!
After much juggling and careful thought, this is my proposed renovation schedule (you don't have to read it if you don't want to, I just want to plan it out, and who knows, you may be interested):
May 2: renos begin (I get back late the night before from my trip to visit Mrs. JB). My mom hired an interior decorator to come in and help me pick the colours for my entraceway, and living/dining room. That will hopefully happen this day. Also spend the afternoon cleaning and removing wallpaper.
May 3: painting begins! I have hired a couple painters to help me, just waiting to hear back if the scheduling will work out (I originally had them scheduled for the following week, but because my dad is only available to help me on the weekends, we had to switch the order of painting and refinishing the floors).
May 4: painting continues!
May 5: still painting! My goal is to get my living room, dining room, and my bedroom painted in these 3 days.
May 6: floor sanding begins
May 7: floor sanding complete (hopefully)
May 8: finish any remaining sanding work and apply first coat of finish
May 9: buff and apply second coat of finish
May 10: buff and apply third coat of finish
May 11: buff and apply fourth coat of finish (if required). If it is not required, start moving my stuff in!
May 12: have furniture delivered and satellite installed.
May 13 and 14: move in the rest of my stuff.
May 15: back to work for me. But I will be living in my new house!
