Weekend Recap

Insanely hot weather and more house work -- that's about it.

The painting was finished on Friday, so the house is now a glaring white inside. It looks quite institutional since there were no other colors showing to break the walls and the ceiling up. However, I got almost all the window jambs installed, the floors cleaned and even some of the casings up. There's only one window left to do upstairs in terms of jambs, and that's because we're missing the jambs for it. The window in the kitchen (above the sink) is totally finished, casings and all. Also, the bedroom windows are about 45% of the way done with casings. This part is actually going pretty quick, and the labor's not too bad on it.

The weather around here has absolutely sucked lately. The last two weeks it's been above 90 every day, which is quite unusual for us. The average temps around here are supposed to be in the low 80s (like 81-83), but today it hit 99. Couple that with 60% humidity or more and it makes for some very hot and crabby people.

The cabinets go in at the house tomorrow, and I'm going to try to get ahold of landscapers so that I can start getting some of the outside work lined up too. I'll be installing trim work for most of the week (though I am hiring some of the work out since there's just too much trim to install), and starting on the laminate floors sometime soon. I'll get into this new house yet!
