Little things

After several days off, G. and I did a bit of work around Mom's house.

We met with one more contractor (Building Blocks) about the bathroom and he'll give us a bid on that, as well as the drywall/framing work in the kitchen. He also had some ideas--saying we could remove as many nails as we could from the floor, and press the others down, then fill the holes and refinish the floor. Or we could even keep the nails in and go for that look. Ideas, anyway!

I also have one other contractor (Better Bath and Tile) coming sometime tomorrow to look at the bathroom.

This afternoon I scraped off all the paint/masking tape schnivels from the floor near the baseboards in the two smaller bedrooms while G. finished hanging all the doors. As soon as we hung the doors, we realized that we needed doorstops (yeah, the amount of trim we'll have to touch up is insane!), so we'll put those in tomorrow.

I'm hoping we get some estimates soon on the work that we cannot do. It's kind of frustrating to just be waiting now.
