They installed our new medallion in the master bedroom. There are no lights in the room, so the picture is not so great – but we are excited! And they did more work in the bathroom, fixing the shelves around the water heater.

Water Heater Closet
The contractors retrofitted our bathroom closet to fit a new water heater, did a bit more demo in the bathroom, and patched the cracks in the original woodwork panels under the historic windows. They left grout colors out for us and we picked our grout for all our tile work.

Demo
The contractors started demo today. They removed our kitchen floor and the bathroom sink, toilet and floor. The electrician started changing the light fixtures in the pass through over the bar, and upgraded our electrical panel!

Fiallen Game 13
We officially have seen Avery Bradley transition into an NBA player. He was ridiculous in tonight’s W. A career high 23 points. Also, Jeff Green was there. We love him!

IKEA problems
One of the improvements we are making is putting a double sink into the bathroom. We found a small double sink that will work at IKEA. We figured we would put the cabinet portion together ourselves, as we can only assume that contractors hate IKEA instructions even more than lay people.
After a day of attempting to put together our new white bathroom sink cabinet missing about 1/3 of the parts, calling IKEA three times, taking a bus, renting a car, driving to Stoughton, buying ANOTHER cabinet, putting THAT together, we ended up with a gray bathroom cabinet we love. IKEA furniture is either a massive success or a massive bust – there is no middle ground.
Today we brought Mannie over to the new house with us. He did pretty good. We made him a box to sit in where he could hang out with us and feel safe. When we were cleaning up to head home, he hid in Jeannette’s sweatshirt that was hanging on the front door knob – he did not want to be forgotten!
