Given that I have a couple of extra days before I assume the mantle of homeowner, I've spent the morning peparing to accumulate burdens. I have acquired packing tape and gloves, spackle and TSP, and a large list of pending purchases.
After pricing the options, I'm planning to go with a combination of carpet (in a mellow brown called, undescriptively, number 508) and laminate (Lamipro, in a warm medium shade called Jatoba). As a bonus, I may be getting actual tile in the middle bathroom—it's small enough that vinyl entails large amounts of wasted material. My vendor, who happens to be the father of a friend, is trying to acquire tile for me in such a way as to incur no additional cost to me.
After a long wander around my friendly neighborhood Home Despot, I think I have found a washer (front loading, even) and dryer, and a refrigerator. I had been planning to get a fridge with a bottom freezer, but I found a top freezer model that is not only cheaper, but also more energy efficient than the bottom freezer models that I can afford. (Side-by-side is not an option for me at this point.)
I need to remeasure before I pick out a sink, but I have a feel for pricing. And I need to decide whether I'm putting in 0, 1, or 2 new toilets.
But I'm ready to spend a productive Tuesday morning prepping walls while I wait for the gas company rep to come turn on the gas. That is, if I close on Monday.
Fingers crossed.
