Construction Chronicles Part 27
Wow. The last few days have been action packed. I left town to see my family, came home on Christmas morning and worked to get the house ready for carpet. I'm a week behind in homework. My grades are going to pay for the holiday break and the house project, but I'm trying not to let that bother me.
Some recent shots:
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday
I naively believed that the carpet would be finished on Tuesday. But there was a lot of cutting to do, so the carpet layers laid the padding first and will finish the carpet today. Well, almost. It seems when the measuring was done the back bedroom was not included, so more carpet needs to be ordered. Rather than leave the bedroom undone, they will leave the stairs undone until sometime next week. Poo. But no matter. Just having the padding down completely changes the feel of the second floor. It's quiet and peaceful, feels warm. For the first time since I moved here it feels like my house is whole; like the war zone is stablized.
More later - I have some blog surfing and hot coffee waiting for me!

Your house is really looking beautiful! And I can tell from the pictures, just having the padding down really does warm up the place quite a bit! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!
Don't worry too much about school...You'll find a way to get things done. Maybe not as perfectly as you would if you had more time to invest...but you will do it to the best of your ability with the time you do have available, and that is all you can ask of yourself.
