It's Replace Sidewalks day!
Street blocked off, no parking, cement saws, jackhammer, dump truck, concrete truck, grand central station.
Only pieces of the sidewalk were replaced. But ours was one of them.
Bird HATED it.
But notice how blue the sky is?
A beautiful 80 degree day. With every window closed and every fan on.
But the good news is, Saul and Saul Jr. showed up. Before lunch time!
Saul Jr. was going to finish the electrical, including the 220 v receptacle in the living room for a future heater.
Which meant we had to move the white hutch full of microwave and dishes, etc., to get to the wall.
Saul Jr. was under the house when the jackhammer right outside the sunroom started. I was in the big chair eating lunch, and jumped about a foot. I felt REALLY bad for Junior. the whole house shook.
Saul had to leave for awhile, but he did come back and finished up the work under the sink.
He installed a new P-trap, the garbage disposal with new button switch, found room for the hot water dispenser with cold filtered water, found room for the filter, and installed the soap dispenser and dishwasher!
However, the electrical didn't get finished.
The little wire is for the lights under the cabinet.
But the hutch made it back against the wall.
The wallpaper border arrived. We decided that the yellow kitchen walls will be fine with it. So we don't have to paint the entire kitchen, just where the spackle is. If we had wall texture.
That will be when we get back, methinks.
Now with the dining room devoid of appliances, we can move Bird back to her "home" until Saturday morning.
