Yesterday was a good day for work getting done. The rockeries are all finished now (we ran out of good weather, last Fall, to finish it then). We have quite a bit leftover medium sized rocks. They are going to haul some of them away for us, so that is good.
The plumbers came and got the tub and faucet installed, the 1/2 bath pedestal sink and faucet installed and the dog shower faucet/handles installed. We don't know why they didn't bring the sink for the laundry room. Most likely the countertop guy will need it for template. It will be same sink as in our shop bathroom, so maybe they can measure from that if they need to, I hope.
I have to admit, I took my shoes off and sat in the tub! I've so missed having a bathtub. One of these days we'll even have water to it ;) I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get the grout haze off off the shower tile floor. I bought some "professional grout haze remover". of course it barely works. Some did come off, as my rag got quite dirty, but it really doesn't look any different then before, to me. I'm going to give it a 2nd try and see if another layer will come off.
We had ordered this cheap dent repair kit off of Amazon a couple weeks ago to try and remove the dent in our garage door (courtesy of the finish guy). It helped bring the dent out a little, but still there (darn). I think it's mainly for car dents. I received a post card in the mail yesterday from the company offering a $10 Amazon gift card if I leave a review and email them a screen shot of the review. We only paid $16 for the repair kit, LOL. I left a review. Hopefully, I'll get the $10 Amazon gift card. If I do, it was worth the few minutes of my time to leave a review and email them.
The dishwasher got delivered. Not sure why it takes 2 guys, LOL. One rolled the box in on a hand cart. The other carried a small box of hook up parts. Obviously only one can drive the truck, too.
The staircase railing is all done. Nothing fancy, but we like it. The lighting fixtures match well with it (not planned, haha) with black metal and wood.
The granite installer called this morning and they will be out sometime today to do the templating, so at least the process is getting started. Hopefully all goes smooth with the cabinet.
Well, back to work.
If an item weighs more than a certain amount,(More than 40 pounds back when I was working H.R.) it's considered a two-man lift, and the company is required to send two people out for delivery, or they won't be insured for claims due to workplace injuries.
ReplyDeletestrange, that's not how the refrigerator, stove, bathtub, etc were delivered. The second guy didn't do anything, LOL.
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment. After poking around here for a bit, it sounds like you're in the middle of a HUGE renovation. More power to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your blog. Thanks for stopping by! We are building a new house...that's taking forever LOL, but almost done.
DeleteI'm not sure of the ratio, but you can use a mixture of vinegar and water to help remove the haze from your tile. But only if it's a ceramic or porcelain tile. It worked on our porcelain tile. Your new home is looking beautiful.
ReplyDeletethank you for the tip! I will look that up and see if I can find ratio and try it. It is porcelain tile.
DeleteOh my goodness, that is all so stunning. It will be worth it in the end but "during"??? You have a stunning home already!
ReplyDeleteit's getting so close!
DeleteThe house looks beautiful!
ReplyDeletethank you so much!
