Window Reno

Just as all things have gone so  far. The installer for our new main floor windows did not call as he was supposed to have. I called Durabuilt and hopefully they will be able to light a fire under the installer as we are going on a holiday September 30th. The measurements need to be taken before we leave as it takes several weeks to build the windows and we want them in the first week of October. Yet another stumbling block. I will continue this week to attempt to get the cabinet installers out to finish their job. I hope that the Home Depot install coordinator is back from holidays this week to give me some assistance in this area!!!!! Today I was really lazy. Did a little laundry, cooked supper and did some dishes. I am so tired from lack of sleep last night......hopefully tonight early to bed. But I really do want to watch So You Think You Can Dance Canada. It is the finals from Toronto and there is usually lots of drama!!! That's it for today..........unless I can't SLEEP!!!!!

The First Post! Kitchen Reno Gone Bad!

It is 2:22 am and I am up and awake.......as usual. No sense staying in bed and tossing and turning so I just get up. This is going to give me something to do when everyone else is sound asleep. It is quiet and won't wake anyone up.
I have been in the home reno mode now for two months. It all started with Kitchen Cabinets. The decision to get all new cabinets or reface the ones that we had was not an easy one. The cost ended up being almost the same but........I didn't feel right about getting rid of the old cabinets when they were still structurally sound. We finally decided to get the new ones and took the old ones to Habitat For Humanity. What a process!!! We purchased the cabinets at Home Depot and they linked us to the installers. We started the process in March and the cabinets were installed on July 5th!! We are now waiting on the installers to come back and finish up what they did not in July. We have a drawer that needs to be fixed and the last of the toe kicks need to be installed. It is the end of August!!! I have phoned the installers three times and they have still not set a date to come out. All in all I would never do another big reno like this through Home Depot. But I love the cupboards!
