Contractor Comes

Yesterday my contractor called and said he could come over today. I told him to come on down. Woke up early this morning and made sure all the bedrooms were accessible. He showed up on time. He decided to tackle the window air conditioning in the study.

I was glad I hired this guy. It seemed like a simple window A/C install. However the window was not level with the storm window. He had to build up the bottom to make it level. Then the contractor's brother arrived with some lumber. They went to work putting another A/C unit through the wall in our bedroom. That took a long time.

Before the guys left, they also fixed a leak in Little Kat's ceiling. And they attached some shelves to Little Kat's bed. I can't wait until these guys return to install the rest of the A/C units upstairs. Kit Kat is already saying the upstairs feels cold. The upstairs is never cold ... until now.

Bathroom Vanity

The drawers in the kids bathroom vanity are broke down. And the faucet does not really match the stopper. So it is hard to pull up the stopper. Momoko and I decided it was time for a new vanity.

I got a contractor to come in. He said he could get us a vanity. However we want to choose our own and he will install it. First we went to Home Depot. The choices there were not that exciting. We have certain size limits due to the limited space in the bathroom.

Momoko talked me into going to Lowes. I really don't like that store. But we found a vanity, top, and faucet combo that we like. Momoko is excited because the vanity has built in shelved in the bottom. I kind of like the marble top. Little Kat tried to talk us into some funky faucets. We decided to go with one that matched in color, and was easiest to turn on and off.

Now I just need to return to Lowes with the truck and buy us our new vanity. While we were there we spied some cool stuff for a future basement bathroom remodel. More on that later.
