Trim makes everything better.

Got a pretty early start this morning and began by cleaning and organizing a little bit. Once my dad arrived we began putting down baseboards in the apartment. Then we moved on to wall and ceiling trim. Wow! What an improvement. It just gives everything such a finished look. We also installed the closet and bathroom doors. We even started on the cedar ceiling trim. I had to leave just after noon, but my dad finished the cedar and caulked everything in the apartment.

I drove up to Nashville and bought tile and grout at Buy Floors Direct. Next I picked up our countertops at Southeastern Salvage. I was surprised at what Liz had picked out, and sent her a picture of it to confirm, but didn’t get a response, so I went on. On to the delicious Mediterranean buffet. Wow, talk about awesome. I won’t eat dinner tonight because I’m still so full. Next I went to the Habitat ReStore to see if they had a sink for the apartment kitchen. They did not, and so I came back to the condo. Liz confirmed that the countertops we’re the ones that she had ordered, however what the salesman had showed her looked completely different. So tomorrow morning I will drive to Huntsville and hopefully exchange them for the correct ones. That is fairly frustrating, but not a huge deal. I spent some time sorting and labeling all of the fixtures that have piled up in the apartment. I also found all of the appliances that I think we will order. Lowe’s is having their best sale of the year now and we want to take advantage.

I also played with Little Man a bit. Tomorrow morning I will try to leave before six so I don’t run into a bunch of traffic. Liz and I have a bit to discuss but hopefully I can get to bed at a reasonable time.
