Day 16

Well, the new furnace is just about in. Well, it's in, but they're coming back in the morning to finish the piping and wiring. I'm so ready! It was REALLY cold painting in there this morning.

I stopped for donuts this morning and Jeff made coffee, so we had an extra-healthy breakfast to get started. The KMP guys showed up right on time, and after they shook their heads a few times at some unusual wiring, they got to work.

I put another coat of paint on the baseboards and then got started on the kitchen! YAY! I unpacked several boxes and found our first moving casualty -- my gadget urn that sat on my counter, now in several million pieces. Also, I spilled an entire can of instant grits into the baking pantry box, but fortunately, there was no moisture present -- so, no, no butter needed.

I had to run back to Home Depot to get the keys remade -- have you ever had a key made and it didn't work? How hard can it be??

Anyway, Jeff worked on some tile cutting and cleaned the fireplace and hearth for us. What a guy. He ended up babysitting the heat and air guys while I took Gwyn to the doctor. Poor thing has the flu, so we've been home all evening.

Planning on heading to the house at 8am tomorrow to meet the KMP guys. Better get to sleep...
