I wanted to add a couple more photographs of the staining and painting the guys did but the blog wouldn't let me. It has nothing to do with the blog site; it's the stupid satellite internet provider that's the problem.  I only wish the wall colors would come out better.
A neighbor a couple of ranches down had a modular Palm Harbor house moved on to their property last week. I noticed a strange thing sticking way up into the air on his roof. It was a tower for a wireless internet provider. We can't get it because they would have to build an 80 foot tower.
The people moving in are a little older than we are and have a son in his 40's living with them. The son is a techie type guy so I can see that a tower on the roof would be a necessity. At least it's not 80 feet high, looks more like 20.

The painters finished today.  They worked for quite a few days.  The last two, Sunday and Monday, they worked until just about midnight.  We couldn't believe it.  They arrived today and finished the job.  They then had Janice and I walk around and put pieces of blue tape on any areas that didn't meet our specifications.  They then went from blue tape to blue tape making corrections.

True to form, the kitchen counter top installers arrived to day and the painters disappeared.  This is what has been happening over and over as we try to finish the house.  The painters were supposed to work today painting the living, formal dining, kitchen and hall.  They never showed up. 
The counter top folks were supposed to be here between 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m.  A little after 2:00 p.m. Janice called them to see what had happened.  She was told they were late and would be here in about an hour and a half.  They finally arrived and did a great job.



The appliances are all over the place.  The ceiling fans
and deep sink are in the mudroom.
