The flooring has started. The guys are doing a nice job, the smell from the glue is overpowering. Debbie is having the harder time. The entire house has a chemical odor to it, and unfortunately for her she has sat home all day in it. The installers don't seem to have a problem with it, but then again they get to go home. In addition, the electricians have come back. We finally have some lights in the kitchen, and the new hallway closet. The biggest problem was getting the electricity to work in the master bedroom. The electricians spent hours trying to get it to work. Turns out the sheetrockers covered over an outlet preventing the circuit from being completed. This is the third problem the sheetrockers caused. They also covered an outlet in the dining room, and an outlet for the smoke detector in the master bedroom. The smoke detector outlet was easily found from the ceiling, and the outlet in the dining room was found easily because it was pushing out on the sheetrock and it's outline was easily seen. In the master bedroom however we had soundproof board put in plus the sheetrock, so the only way to find the outlet was by cutting holes into the wall. Luckily the electrician found it on his second try, but know we have a nice hole in our newly paintednew walls that needs to be fixed.
