Update on Remodeling

The guys are coming back on Monday to finish up the basement. I need to call the adjustor again, since I didn't end up hearing from her last week.

I faxed the receipts for the materials on Sunday (lots of Amazon bonus points on the Visa card). I went today to Target to look for blinds for the livingroom but they didn't have what I want. I won't shop on Holidays so I'll have to get up early and go to Menard's or Meijer on Monday or while they are finishing up the laudryroom.

Good thing that since this had to happen, I'm off work to be here to take care of it. I just need to paint the trim around the windows, the floor and the steps. Everything was grey before but now it's more beige/tan.

I was hoping to be motivated enough to do it this past week but that didn't happen. I should have enough paint on hand (left over from bedroom) to do the trim.

Even though insurance is covering everything, I've been able to use up left over supplies I had on hand. Some 2x4's, trim work, drywall etc. I'm able to save the insurance company some money (lol) and get it out of my way. I'm having them fix up the entryway also. Their going to use leftover paneling to replace what is there currently, then I'm going to paint it white on the bottom and light yellow on top. The kitchen is light green and with the basement being beige now, I think it'll look nice. Hopefully I can paint the entryway myself, otherwise I'll have to call the painter and have him come do it.

I'm trying to get an answer from them if they want to do the concrete job. Any which way it's getting done this month or next. It doesn't matter to me who does it. I just wish he would say, "No" if he doesn't want to do it. I'd feel funny if I hire it out and the next time they come over and walk over it get upset.
