Deadline approaching..

Our cabinets will be ready in just 19 days but we are not even close to being ready for them. Tim has one more electrical box to hook up and then he needs to finish hanging sheetrock. We have the west wall and the ceiling still needing rocked. With the plumber being a relative it is so hard to tell when he will show up. Tim and I decided on a gas stove (yipee!! he's letting me get rid of the old one) so we are needing him to put in a gas line as well. It shouldn't take him long once he gets here, it's just the getting him here that is the problem. Then we can move on to the floor. We need to insert hardwood boards where there isn't any and then sand down the old stuff in the kitchen and dining room and finish it off with stain and poly. We have someone giving us a bid on mudding and taping. I originally thought I would be able to do it but I got tennis elbow from cutting sheetrock, so mudding is out the window. Window, that reminds me, we need to get two new kitchen windows. After the mudding is done, we can paint and then hang the cabinets. Tim has been very productive on weekends until this past weekend when we found out our friend Jack, who has been helping him, took a job in Arizona. On top of that, Tim has overtime, of all times, why now? When looking at the May calender every weekend is full so I guess that means evenings will be longer and nights shorter. It looks like my Mothers day will be spent in the kitchen. Not cooking this time!
