Basement 1/16
Well I guess I complained a couple days before things started getting better. They painted! I think they will be leveling the floor in the kitchen area today and maybe even starting to tile, Gerry and Janet picked out and purchased the tile last night! The carpet people are coming either this week or next week (I think) and I think the cabinets have kind of been picked out, they will be from IKEA - and match the pretty doors we will have down there, the bead board. then the appliances are just waiting to be delivered when ever they are ready to be installed. So maybe its going to be done sooner than we were thinking. I think they have been paid and have a job coming up after they finish here so they are more motivated to get it finished! YEAH!!!!
Here's some pictures from this morning.

It's been a while...
Well I have been so busy with changes in work and life that I haven't really had time to update my blog. So here we go.
I changed jobs at the end of December and am now working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at Smith's from 9-7, they are long days but its pretty nice to only work 4 days a week. I am really enjoying my job and the work I do. I went down to DOPL the other day and got my finger prints done - electronically, it was cool. I turned in my application and paid my $99.00 for the licensing application and processing. Hopefully within a week or two I will be able to pull my licence numbers off the Internet at get the raise at work and really become a fully fledged pharm tech.
The basement... Is dragging and taking forever. They are so slow. They are painting this week and the carpet is scheduled to be installed this week, maybe... But they haven't done anything in the kitchen for finishing work and the bathroom isn't any more completed... I was hoping we'd be down there by now, but I am thinking its probably going to be March before it gets all finished. Also when it started being done we were under the impression that we'd have some say in what it looked like, but it turns out that our opinions or desires don't matter - not to the builder or the in-laws. So its going to be how they want it. I have resigned myself to it, and will just have to live in it like I would any other apartment and I will keep waiting until I have a place of my own. I just hope they will hurry up and get it done so we can move down there. (I am a bit claustrophobic)
I shouldn't complain, I am very lucky to have in-laws that will let us rent their basement from them and I am grateful to them for everything they have done for us.
