July 19, 2009

It was nice waking up in my own bed this morning. I am really glad we came home last night. It was kind of a lazy morning for the kids and me. Michael went up to the duplex to paint the basement. We are aiming for the inspector to come on Monday next weeks, so hopefully, this will be the last week of working up there.

This afternoon Michael, the kids and I went to pick out appliances (stove and microwave), counter tops and kitchen flooring. It was actually pretty painless. I saw the exact counter tops that would work perfect in the kitchen right away at Lowe's. We found decent brand stove and microwave at Lowe's for decent prices.

Then, we went to Becky's to look at flooring because that's where Michael saw what he thought would work best. He wanted me to see it before he bought it. It definitely will work in our duplex and it's less expensive than Home Depot or Lowe's either one. We did have to drive to the Becky's on Lindbergh because the one here in town did not have enough boxes of it, but that wasn't a big deal.

This evening, Michael and his dad were working on putting the stove in at the duplex. The first stove they got did not work so they took it back. The next stove they got looked like an elephant had sat on it when they got it unwrapped. Finally, the third stove worked out. So, they got nothing else done but putting in the stove.

They still have to put on counter tops, finish the cabinets that sit on the floor, put the kitchen in the kitchen floor and finish painting the basement. Everything else is done. Maybe in a couple weeks we'll have new tenants.

The kids and I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today. We also watched Haunted Mansion. So, yes it was a very lazy day for us.
