Final Reckoning

Friday, June 10th was the final day of the project.

Loyd arrived right at 830am to remove the tape on the tub enclosure, and caulk the seams. This only took about forty-five minutes, and I was finishing up a film when he came downstairs with an itemized bill for the total cost.

On Day One of the project I had paid him $550.00 which was supposed to be half of the bill, but actually it was $875.63 which I ended up owing. However, this did include the cost of the tub enclosure which he had to buy, and I was able to credit my card, and additional items which he had to purchase like a towel holder, toilet paper holder, various plumbing fixtures, glues and adhesives, and some additional cost for labor. Don't forget that he stopped the upstairs toilet from running, and was able to install the new toilet seat which I had bought many years ago.

The work is of such high quality, and he finished in a reasonable amount of time, and he is a gentleman of unquestionable integrity that I had no problem coming up with the additional dough.

Now, I will begin work on cleaning up the basement area of the condo, and then getting the family area clear of furniture so that I can have the carpet installed both stairs and floor. I think that I will put the large wooden bookcase from the family room into the basement area and use this to store my clothing. Of course, much of these ancient and decrepit clothes will be trashed or donated.

What's Ahead:
Hard Wood Flooring in the living room
Bookshelves mounted on the living room wall
Carpeting on downstairs and family room
New furniture in family room
