Much Painting and Such

The painters have come back to (almost) complete the painting jobs. We now have a nice two-tone dining room, in two shades of gray, with a bright white trim. The entryway is light gray, with the same white. The guest bath is gray, too, and will eventually have nice white trim (couldn't afford the trim there to be painted).

All the tile has been removed from the kitchen and breakfast room, leaving a godawful dusty mess all over the house. Dust everywhere! Tomorrow, the work begins to float the concrete floors smooth, after which 16" tiles (dark brown, mottled, with a slate texture) will be laid at a 45 degree angle, instead of the 90 degree pattern that was there before.

I'd rather be home, working on the house, than at the office thinking about it during the say. Much more interesting...but the pay isn't adequate!

My keyboard is dusty and so is my computer screen. The keyboard feels awful on my fingers, so it's time to stop.
