Contractors 11/28/16

Today, the Monday after thxgiving I had:

The tile guy: Jessie come work on the floor.   He cut the large tiles to accommodate the penny tile wave.

The Window guys returned to do some trim, but had to call 2 different guys, to get the filler and the correct size trim.  They could not do the bathroom window, because the tile was wet.

They did not finish the windows in the office, because they need a missing piece for the lock.
They did teach me how to correctly close the windows and lock them, and how to add the window screens which are inside the house, not on the outside.

The Va Natural gas man, he checked on the meter, repainted it, and got it set up for plumbers tomorrow.

The chimney guys, said the new roof flashing sucked and I need a cap, but there are no obstructions.
So for $913, including a 15% military discount, they will fix the flashing and cap it w a stainless steel cap.
The mini- wood burning FP is an option, but I will need an insert into the chimney. Will research that and possibly do it at a later time.

Now I need to go to laundromat and to home depot, need more PRIMER KILZ.

Tomorrow PLUMBER!
And jessie (tile guy said he'd be back at 8 am -ish!

laundry area, painted a JADE MIST

still need to pain, under the stairs. This is where murphy bed will go.
