Not only is the living room now void of all furniture, it is also completely void of carpet. The property manager chose a lovely dark walnut shade of floating vinyl linoleum. It’s a wide plank look so it will go perfectly with the decor we have going on. Dark and cool in the summer and a warm feel in the winter. Not that it ever gets cold enough to actually need heat more than a couple of months out of the year here.

Supposedly the living room will be done today and the carpet will be removed from the stairs and the upstairs hallway. Tomorrow the stairs will be rebuilt and the Berber carpet laid on the stairs and upstairs hallway and the exhaust fan installed in the bathroom. After that he won’t be back until Tuesday and thinks he’ll be able to get both bedrooms done that day. I don’t think he’ll be able to get it done in one day and it’s cutting it very close. But if he gets one room done it will be the master bedroom. Upon hearing the plan I let Joseph know so he could schedule that day off to help with the furniture in our room. He has a circa mid 80’s government issue metal and laminated monstrosity of a desk that easily weighs 300 lbs. There is no way I can help move that thing. Heck, after the last moving of furniture to help with the painting there is no way I’m going to attempt to move a single thing. That resulted in a 3 week Fibromyalgia flare-up from hell.

But all of this is being cut very close to the call. My mother and Boy #1 fly in next Thursday. It had all better be done by then. So much to do so little time and so little out of my hands. Sucks to be a control freak!
