Getting Ready

As you can see Adam has been hard at work this week. "We" are doing some work on the sun room so that we can use it as our office and make room for Baby C. In order to make it more secure and climate controlled, Adam has had to put in new windows, an insulated ceiling, a new floor, and a new door. He actually started on the project over the summer, but has really been on a roll over the past couple of weeks. He put a new coat of paint on a couple of weeks ago and it looks like he will finish installing the floor and door this weekend! We went to Home Depot yesterday to look at carpet. Naively, I thought we could just pick some thing out and out and have them come and install it sometime this week. After pricing and wading through a sea of various carpeting options we finally made a decision. To our dismay, when we went to purchase the carpet we were told it would have to be ordered. This would take 3-4 weeks and then it may be a "a few more" for the guys to come out and install it. Feeling deflated, we set up an appointment to have the measurements taken and decided we may keep looking, just in case. Luckily, my mom suggested a carpet outlet in Goochland, so we headed out there today (being cautiously optimistic). We were pleasantly surprised that, not only did they have a great deal on a carpet we both liked, but they can install it tomorrow! Thanks mom! We canceled the Home Depot appointment and we should be able to start moving the office furniture out there this week!
It has been very exciting to start getting the house ready. Even the girls (the cats) have been doing their part to pitch in. With all of the construction, their litter box had to be moved into the basement. So far they have been agreeable to it's new location. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I think it will be a lot of fun. I can't wait to start decorating the nursery. Be sure to check back in a few weeks to see the before and after photos of the sun room/office. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!
