The remainder of the recycled/upcycled cabinets made their way from the house we live in to Picadilly. The cabinets and appliances were a great find. Barely used all oak cabinetry and newer clean appliances salvaged from military housing in the Maryland area. They came from an L shaped kitchen and Picadilly is a galley kitchen, but with our cleaverness we'll make it work. I am thinking about cutting one of the double base cabinets in half to get it to fit. Any thoughts on that? We have plenty of cabinetry, just getting it to fit and maximize space is going to be a bit of a puzzle for me to ponder on. Also, Bill got the blinds up on most of the windows to deter onlookers.
House still smells like cat pee, going to need a couple gallons of Lysol or the like and mop the poop (or rather pee) out of that place. Window estimate #1 was completed today, about what we were expecting but because of the age of the house and the possible lead containaments there is an extra fee. Trying to work with HVAC guy #1 to lower the cost as much as possible while reserving the intergrity and efficiency of a new HVAC system installation. BTW, master HVAC techs are paid $100 per hour and assistants are paid $25 per hour. Wondering if we can locate a system online comparable to what the installer wants to use for a better price than what he normally would use. It's worth a shot at a few searches.
Bummed out that our help has to join his boat tomorrow and we lose his help for a bit of time. When they return he will get to visit his family and hopefully in January we'll have his assistance again until the boat leaves AGAIN in February, but with our deadline that should work out perfectly.
