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!

Contractor Got Started
The contractors took down the broken medallion and old pendant light from the front bedroom, removed all the speakers and surround sound, and pulled all the gross cords and cables from along the original crown moldings. We have got almost all of the fixtures ready for them and sitting in the front room! We are so excited!

South End
On the Beck’s last day we stayed around our neighborhood. We had lunch at The Buttery and showed Becky a place Baxter would love. We loved having Becky visit!
