January 2018 Island Trip – Day Two

Today:

• The fireplace insert folks came by early to install a missing interior panel in the unit. I asked for a few minutes of remedial training regarding the remote control, as it wasn’t working as advertised. The receiving unit in the fireplace was on the wrong setting! What a relief.
• The bathroom paint is 98% finished. The remainder is the ceiling of the closet the washer lives in. It seemed more important to get the room itself to 100%. The closet can fit in.
• The kitchen painting is underway. I stopped short because…
• The tile guy was supposed to come back today and seal the grout. He texted to let me know the sealer says to wait 48 hours. Meanwhile,
• I emptied everything off the counters so he could seal them. Between the kitchen and bathroom being emptied, the house looks like a cyclone hit it.
• I had to make a hardware store run today because someone who painted in my absence didn’t clean the brushes, touched, with a painty hand, an otherwise perfect, and clean, roller thereby destroying it. I have found the offending paint in the house also. I am displeased.
• More books were packed. My back is sore…
• I went through some of dad’s clothes and chose the winter weight ones to donate. I also pulled the same from mom’s clothes to sneak into her apartment.
• The antique queen sized bed is listed on a local sales forum.
