Day 38 March 24

I’m pretty sure we’re doing something wrong because we had to make another trip to Lowes for a bucket of mud. We’re on our third, is that normal? I’m pretty sure it’s not but oh well. While we were at Lowes we also picked up 17 boxes of flooring! After seeing the load we were a little hesitant if our blue buggy could take the heat, but she got the job done once again! That is of course not without me looking over my shoulder every 10 second for fear of a box flying out onto the road and causing a domino effect of collisions. But my vision in my head didn’t come true and we made it safely home and unloaded all 17 boxes into our family room!

Our mess of a table that will one day need
cleaned so we can remove the rest of the carpet

We then pulled up more of the carpet because we kept on dirtying it when we’re planning on keeping it. It’s a lot easier cleaning up now without that tarp over the carpet and mud droppings splattering on just the concrete. And then what followed is no surprise, mudding and more sanding. We’re both really ready for this phase to be done. Also because we have an insane amount of dust everywhere. I’m always reaching for a bottle of lotion nowadays. 

Before the end of the night I persuaded David to screw in the last wall piece in the mudroom. He admitted that he wasn’t looking forward to this piece, hence it not attached yet, because of the shallow boxes with all the wires and the risk of cutting one with the dremel. But in the end it turned out fabulous and no wires cut! Aaaand, I finally got the sample paint on the walls! With the cabinets delivered David brought in a small one to compare the colors. Unfortunately the yellow just doesn’t go. We like the green but the shade is too dark. This means I’ll be back to Home Depot checking out more color samples. I really suck at this interior design part. Little help!
