Day 14 continues

Ok, Daniel and father left around 6:45pm. They only sanded a little bit of the floor (almost finished the small room, but the closets and hallway were still unsanded, and 3 stairs not installed yet). 

He asks if they can maybe come back, and how late... We, of course, have no idea how they're going to finish by Monday, but Daniel keeps assuring us it will happen (albeit somewhat hesitantly, because I'm sure he realizes there's a lot left to do).

They leave, we make dinner. As we're sitting down to eat, the other guy shows up (I don't know his name, but the employee who's done most of the work) - around 7:45pm. Poor guy... I have no idea how late he's going to stay, but probably until dark. He's working on the stairs now.

SIGH. We have the wall refinisher coming Monday... And if he can't get upstairs, he can't refinish the walls...



I did get a chance to go upstairs and take some pictures - here is the new paint choice (next to the old). I like it much better; more gray with a tint of blue.

After the stairs are installed, Dale (or someone) will definitely have to come back and patch the holes created by the ripping out of the old stairs. The plaster got knocked off and the lathe is completely exposed in some areas.




 But Chris said it'll be taken care of. So I'm not worried about that. This was kinda expected, anyway. You can't really rip out old stairs without doing at least a little bit of damage.

So that's where we stand at 8:10pm on Saturday night. I expect they'll be here late again tomorrow, which sucks, 'cause we made plans with a friend. I guess we'll see tomorrow....

Goodnight!
