So far we had torn out the carpet in one bedroom , part of the hallway and a little bit in my bedroom. I'll make some more progress on that soon and start tearing out the tack strips. I borrowed a crowbar and a hammer from my coworker Barb today.

Finally got in contact with the contractors today for the first time about the work that needs to be done. The AC guy is going to call tomorrow and set up a time mid-next week (Wed) to do the AC, which is a 2 day job. The septic guy I am going to meet tomorrow to give him his money. Plumbing will be done Friday- take about 3 hours. Tomorrow the electrician is coming to put in the new box system and install a fan and a light outside. That will take 8-10 hours so they may finish tomorrow or not.

I was planning to have people come over to do flooring this weekend but it will have to wait another week or 2- we will see which. That will give more time for me to tear up the tack strips and paint the hallway and 2 bedrooms, as well as get rid of the rest of the carpet.

I was quite upset with Lowes about the AC because a bunch of people planned to come do flooring this satruday and I was hoping to have the AC done earlier this week. Instead, they had to put the AC people back into 'rotation'. So it took this much longer. When I spoke to the installation team at Lowes I was told that the AC guys insurance expired and had to be renewed (it happens every year) and it just so happened to coincide with my need for AC. Fabulous- that is just my luck.
