8am Get to house, and trees people have already started cutting trees. It was CRAZY. there were guys on our TALL trees everywhere. and I mean those trees are gimongous. They're about 3 times the height of the house.. literally. These guys looked like monkeys on trees coz they're so high up.
The guys have to climb up there, using ropes, get rid of the skins of the palm tree with their feet and bare hands, start cutting one little section with chainsaw, throw it to the ground (HUGE thump- I think our grass has huge dents from those), then climb alittle lower, start the whole process again.....
9am Justin gets there. There were probably 20 Mexican guys working on the house all at the same time... (they aren't all together either. It was insane) We had the tree guys, termite guys, construction guys.
9:30am We get to Lowe's, pick up lots of stuff including bathroom vanity, tub, shower stalls. It was 2 truck trip worth of stuff
11:30am Justin and I went to check out Best Buy to look at what's leftover from BF then we ate at this sub place called Jersey Mike's. It was sooo good. Tons of meat, and they finished the sub with red wine vinegar and olive oil blend. Yum.
12pm Justin and I go to Target to shop for a bit, he bought a really comfy blanket
1pm get to the appliances place, met up with the delivery guys I found on Craigslist =p and they delivered the appliances while we followed behind.
2pm left for City of Industry to go pick out tiles, base boards, door casings, floors. We decided to not get carpet (sad) because my mom thought it was easier to clean and she's sort of allergic.
5pm ate at this Taiwanese restaurant (so good!!)
6pm picked up faucets for the showers
7pm Moved all 36 boxes of tiles to the garage. They said it was about 40lbs per box. THAT was a work out. omgoodness
8pm went to Home Depot with the intention to look at paint and microhoods. Ended up also looking at sliding doors, garage doors, and faucets
9pm FINALLY got home. omg. home freaking sweet home =P
so tireddd....
and seriously, just as the termite guy said, seeing different groups of people all working on the house at the same time.. is really not a common scene.... Lots of coordination, lots of orchestrating, lots of planning, and lots of organizing.
what's left:
tomorrow: pick up Kitchen cabinets (and look at granite countertops????)
