The end is near

We are not going to any homestores today! I hope they won't worry about us.
The decisions are done. The paint colors and tiles (8 kinds) have at last been selected.
Lighting and plumbing fixtures have been acquired. The walls are jointed and smoothed, ready to tile. The sinks and toilet bowls, bless them, are waiting to be joined to their fittings. It is an acrobatic challenge to move or breathe in this house with all this stuff. But the cabinets come tomorrow. The impossible-to-acquire laminate countertop ( they sent 100 samples, but you can't actually buy the stuff) of our dreams has been replaced by a formica alternative. Done deal. Our fantasy of once again enjoying running water may soon become a reality. I know I will have to deal with a lot more dust before the completion, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel! Well actually, it's the light coming through the whole in the dropsheet the Caramelly ate, but still. No Lowe's today!!!

Glad the light at the end of the tunnel isn't an oncoming train.

I'm sure it will be worth all the trauma.
