Macaroni and more flooring.

Posted on by David Maxwell

It was not an efficient day. The drive in featured another lovely sunrise at the AG Center, but things moved pretty slowly this morning. The siding guys started work. I talked with them briefly – one of them had only been in the country four days. I was able to get a little flooring down before the marble guys showed up. The owner was from Sicily and was quite the character. They installed the surrounds around two of the fireplaces, and they look amazing. I finished up the flooring on the ground level of unit three. I am moving slower than expected, but I’m still satisfied with the progress. Tomorrow should be a very productive day.

Late start, early finish.

I slept in a little and didn’t get to work until about 6:30. On the bright (literally!) side I saw the sun reveal itself as a beautiful orange ball as I was driving through the AG Center. That was worth stopping for. But not worth unearthing the real camera, apparently. I started putting flooring down in the ground level of unit four. It went pretty well for the most part. At about eight Liz texted to see if I could come back to the condo around one in order to look after Luke for the afternoon. So I worked until twelve and then left. I am pretty pleased with my progress considering the reduced time, But I will definitely have to work hard the rest of the week in order to catch up. I’m hoping to be finished with all of the flooring by Saturday.

Motivated Monday.

Short post because I’m exhausted. Arrived at the crack (pictures below). Put down more flooring in another upstairs unit. Left after sunset (pictures below). Expecting more of the same tomorrow.

Not a short day.

Got started at six this morning and finished up at 8:15 this evening. Unfortunately the long hours don’t equal maximum productivity. I worked on flooring but it took a while to get set up, and even once I did, circumstances beyond my control forced me to lay the flooring in from the wrong direction. That caused considerable frustration and delays. That, coupled with a very awkward floor plan (featuring lots of angles) caused things to move much more slowly than they should have. On the bright side it wasn’t very hot today. Also on the bright side tomorrow is Sunday.

Short day.

We started at six this morning and I left at two. It was not a very productive day, although we did make some progress. We mainly focused on finishing up little details on the cabinets like drawers and doors. My dad will probably keep working on them tomorrow while I start the floors. It should only be 90 degrees tomorrow versus today’s 95. It was pretty nice to only work eight hours today, but I won’t make a habit of it. We really like these cabinets and I’m excited to put them in the farm house. The flooring should go down pretty easily, although it is a little more complicated than usual because the floors are angled.
