we've been at it for 5 days now, and it's been slow progress, as only one of us is actually doing the work! That's the arrangement we've found to work best, if we want to remain married. We've also been spending time talking about what sort of small changes we'd like to make, one of which is to add some hardware to the cupboard doors and drawers.  It may not be all that stylish right now, but both of us will be much happier this way. The first half of the cupboards is finished and David is working on the lower section beneath them.  It's been a bit of adventure and we've discovered that neither of us is very good at reading a ruler or knowing up from down.  David has also decided that the rest of the &^%'g hinges will stay in place and not be removed and cleaned up.  'Nuff said about that!  I figure it will take at least the rest of the month to get the job finished, as we have the rest of the cupboards, the pantry and the back foyer to do, as part of the same job.  When it's done I can already see that shampooing the rugs will be next on the list, and painting the living room may have to wait a year.  We startedon Monday and Wednesday evening College Pro Painters came to  the door soliciting jobs.  the look on his face when he saw the mess and I told him he was two days late, was priceless.
