The work has started...




Saturday started early, I was with Oscar & Mark the tile installers at the Home Depot at 8:15am buying tiles and material. I have negotiated $850 for two of them to do the tiles of 2 bathrooms, the laundry room and a little area at the kitchen wall, they expected to finish the job on Sunday. I was busy trimming the bushes and the tree at the front lawn, while the Direct TV (Satellite TV) guy was installing the dish and two sets of outlets in the house. Helen was busy cleaning the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. After that, we went to the Pacific Sales in Newbury Park to compare prices on the fridge that we want to buy, instead finding any deals on the fridge, we found lots of amazing sales on TVs! We went to Home Depot and ordered 10 gallons of paint in few colors before going back to the new house. Noel the painter came to the house at 5pm to meet and discuss painting details. I was able to negotiate for $1,000, Noel will paint the living room, dining room, kitchen, family room and the master bedroom, it's unbelievable.

I will arrange the cleaning lady to come in and clean the house next week, courtesy of Gaye, she wanted to pay for the house cleaning as part of her closing gift! After painting is done, I will clean the carpet. Some furniture will probably be delivered next Saturday, and I will start to move some existing furniture from our condo next weekend too. The window cleaning guy is super busy, he has jobs till the beginning of November, I guess we will not get our windows and sliders cleaned and screen repaired until mid-November.
