Day 38

Day 38

23 JAN 2012

 Today was a long day. Hubby went to work early this morning, then me and mom in law went to Fort Payne Alabama to get counter tops (or so we thought). We went by the marina to get the truck and the sink. (I had to take the kitchen sink to Dixie Salvage so they could cut the counter tops around it.)

 We got to the Marina and picked up the truck, (on an empty tank oooof course). Lol Got gas and headed to Fort Payne. I had to use my GPS to get there because I didn’t know the way. We got to the top of the mountain (the direction the GPS told me to go) and then all of a sudden the GPS was telling me to “make a U-turn” and go back DOWN the mountain! WHAT! You just told me to come UP the mountain! Figured out what the problem was. Killer, (mom n laws dog) (and yes, I even gave the dog an alias) J had stepped on the GPS. The GPS went to the home screen and then when he stepped on it again, he pressed the “take me home” button. I guess he didn’t want to make the long trip to Fort Payne. Lol

 We were already at the bottom of the mountain so decided to stop at Krystals (well, not STOP but the drive thru). Of course Killer had to have his own burger J He is not spoiled at all! (sarcasm) J

 We get to Dixie Salvage and (oh yeah, before I tell you about that, I have to tell you that when we put (and by “we” I mean hubby and guy one) but anyways….. when we put in the cabinets, the lady at DS had given us a full size cabinet to go over the sink. It wouldn’t work! TOO LARGE! They also did not give us the small cabinet that goes over the refrigerator. But they didn’t charge us for it either. Also, my island consists of the drop in stove and a cabinet on each side. THAT IS NOT GONNA WORK! If I were cooking and something boiled over, it would go onto the floor! URG! I was just so happy that Alan agreed to give me a new island that I didn’t even think about it. Lol

 So now then …… We are in DS and I tell the lady about the cabinet and she asked if I brought it back. NO! We already stained and poly’d it! So she gave me both cabinets we needed AT COST. We came up with a plan to fix the island and decided to give it a bar top. Of course this means more work for hubby. I did NOT want more work for him but can’t have food boiling over onto my beautiful hardwood floor!

 We got the cabinets and dropped the kitchen sink off. It will take 2 days for them to cut the countertop to fit it. So, that is on delay.

 Hubby went to the house and got the risers sanded and second coat of paint on them. He also got the cabinets we brought back from Fort Payne stained. Then he came home to some home made potato soup I made. J It turned out to be the best potato soup I EVER MADE! And of course he is so sick that he couldn’t taste it! Lol All in a days work.

 (OH YEAH) Yesterday I forgot to say that I carried all the hard wood from the living room to the upstairs to get it out of the way and so it could aclimate. I also got the "man cave" cleaned up, the Harley room cleaned up and the living room cleaned! Starting to look like a home!
