Another week gone.. here it is Friday already. Did a lot of tile/slate this week, and can see the bottom of the pile... OOPS... they delivered five more pallets. Holly Molly... do I have my work cut out for me!
The crew is workig hard. Drywallers finally finished but I am sad to say did not do the best job. Two of my guys put in an entire day fixing bad spots, completing missed areas and then cleaning up the disasterous mess left behind. We will be billing the drywall company for their time and materials (thank goodness!!). It's easy to do when you haven't paid yet... we will deduct it.
The crew will be back for a bit tomorrow/Saturday to prepare for the Painters, who will be here Sunday to begin interior painting. I finally picked out a tannish color called Safari Bisque (you know... one of those whites that isn't white) and am using a very white white trim with it. My decorator friend says it is not only the new trend for upscale housing but will go well with my few furnishings and taste in decor.
I also worked out a mosaic design with my tile guy for the front entry floor. Budget is tight but Hubby will be here in 10 days and then he can help work on tile so it should all be good.
The water tank was delivered FINALLY. Only about 6 weeks late... so what else is new huh? At least it is here. Now all we have to do is assemble it, finish the gutter downspouts, hook it all up, eeekkkk.
Oh, this rain has made the new/temporary pigpen into a total... well... pigpen! They have dug up the ground well, whichis the plan as we will be planting bananas in there. I am very fortunate a couple of my guys finally got the cement slab poured for the new/permanent pigpen. Tomorrow we will begin mounting the 4x4 posts and stringing the fence. I hope to have them in by Monday. Wish us luck!
In the meantime, it is wash slate, dry slate, seal slate, dry slate, seal slate again, dry slate againk stack slate... wheeeee. Still, things are really coming together now. I am most excited. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
You are all invited, of course to our first annual punatic bash on Feb 11th.... check the Punaweb parties thread for updated information.
Aloha and mahalo... Pam

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
