We’re in another holding pattern. We finally got our bathroom door and I love it! It needs to be painted but I’m a little concerned about painting while it’s so humid… the little painting we have done recently (base boards, crown moldings) doesn’t seem to want to cure very quickly. Here it is right now (it still has the protective plastic on the glass until we paint it):
We’re still in a holding pattern of sorts….. We’ve been working on the little things I mentioned in my last post…. plus I had to spend some time seriously getting into computer research. My computer had been acting up for a while so I knew it wouldn’t be long before it died… I had done some researching and looking… I found a computer that I loved (but not the price, so much)…. I figured I watch and wait for it to be on sale… No such luck…. One day last week i turned my computer on in the morning and it immediately shut off… and smelled like electric burning… Uh Oh! I continued to look into computers (including looking at D(h)ells!!!) Ultimately I had decided on a Toshiba that was a step down from the computer I really wanted…. We headed out to Best Buy and they had an HP on clearance!? It was regularly $799, selling for $531. It also already had their optimizing thing done to it as well as adding webroot for 6 months. (and of course their “ask an agent scam *rolls eyes*) The only thing about it that I’m not crazy about is the case itself… but hubby reminded me that I could buy a skin for it! The first thing I did was use my iPhone to look up reviews on it… they were almost all good…. and the couple that weren’t were for silly reasons…. Soooooo… instead of the $676 one that i really wanted or even the $499 one I was going to settle for…. I got the $531 one that was a great deal! WOOT! It’s an Intel Core 2 processor, 15.6″ LED screen, 6 cell battery, 500GB 7200 RPM harddrive, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Altec Lansing sound… Oh…. and it’s a laptop! Yep…. I gave up my desktop for a laptop! for a while now I’ve been thinking about it so I could be more mobile in the house rather than tied to the computer room…. (and yes…. I looked at Mac Books… but didn’t want to spend that much money on a computer right now with all the stuff we’re doing to the house and still need to so and still plan to do!)
Sorry…. no completed kitchen/dining area floor pic yet… I want to wait and post one when the baseboards are in, which may happen sooner rather than later… Since our plans with completing our mini-make-over in the master bath are on hold. We ordered new closet doors that were supposed to be in last Friday but since we are in a remote area they only deliver once a week… they missed the truck from L.A. last friday so we’re waiting til this Friday. That’s fine… we deciced to forge ahead with the bathroom since the tile we ordered did come in on time. We also ordered our new bathroom door. We decided rather than just the same old door we wanted something a little different. On one hand it’s a good thing we waited cuz we saved 25%… on the other hand… it won’t we here in the 2 weeks that the guy said. When I got home and really looked at the paperwork…. delivery date is July 24th. UGH!
And finally, it’s all done (except for the floor and a couple of things that need the floor done first like baseboards, corner edging…).
