podling | Then comes the Good

Well, the truly good is that the new place is indeed coming along nicely. Yeah, there are imperfections, and yeah, there are areas that I could maybe fix, but overall, it's looking really, really good. Last weekend my uncle showed up with powertools and stuff and put in a new floor. It was really impressive to watch. And I do mean watch. I mean, I tried to help, but there was very little for me to do. He's just good at what he does. So there's some finishing touches left to be done, but it looks absolutely fantabulous! (though I do need to wash it, so it'll look even more fantabulous shortly) He was right though,

littlefrogling and I would never have been able to do this on our own, even if we'd rented power tools. We would've gotten to the exceptionally complicated multi-angles door area and stopped, cried, then committed ritual suicide. Okay, *maybe* that's an exaggeration, but seriously, my uncle worked his ass off putting this floor in, and all credit goes to him.

The painting is mostly done, and the colors work pretty well together. I still have some minor doubts about the brightness of the kitchen, but, well, for anyone who saw it before it was destroyed by me, you know how it was kind of dim in the apartment? Not so anymore. You might need sunglasses to look in the kitchen, actually. Even in the partially completed stage everything looks good. I still haven't worked out the furniture arrangement, but all in good time.

So this weekend... painting & putting in the quarter rounds around the floor. Packing. Moving kitchen stuff, probably. And there are more worker bees being tapped for their usefulness. Yeah baby! I love my friends, I really do. And not just because they're beautiful. If I get enough done, maybe I'll even be able to catch a movie. Yeah!!!
