Day 17, March 19, 2003


Not a whole lot to show today, we painted the ceilings in the bathroom, dining room, and living room. Karen also hit the trim with another coat of hi-gloss, and I managed to also two coats of grout sealer on the kitchen counter..

The dining room is actually finished! We need to replace one outlet, and find a new light fixture, but otherwise, the paper comes off the floor tomorrow night.

Same with the living room - we still need to swap outlets..
and find new lights for the fireplace.
One other thing we did was pull out the glass sliding door frame from the bathtub. It, like most things, was not too pretty. It's gone now, and we will be replacing the trim as soon as the floor goes in tomorrow night..
We decided to order a new sink for the kitchen. This is not the final sink we wanted, as that one would require major modifications to the counter, but It's white porcelain, and I got it for only $90 on ebay, brand new. 10" deep bowls, it should be adequate for the next few years.
We also ordered a new faucet, a Kohler Essex model. This is the exact faucet we wanted, it just made more sense to buy it now than to spend money on another faucet we'd throw away. Not a bad price, just $250 delivered. It's a great 15" whopping inches high!
