Work Slowly Continues

While the HVAC guys have been working on building and installing new ductwork and vents throughout the house, I have been working at various small projects.  Because I don't yet have a kitchen sink or hot water, it makes the cleaning part rather hard - and even painting because I have no place to clean out brushes, etc.  But I have painted the ceiling in one bedroom and edged the ceiling in another bedroom and in the kitchen.  I removed the colorful flowers in the bathroom - pretty though they were, they had to go so we could clean and paint the walls.  We learned that many of the stains on the hardwood floors are likely from pet urine.  Yuck!!  And no way to clean except sand away.  Now what? 
I cleaned down all the top kitchen cupboards that are left (thanks to a bucket of warm water from a neighbor) and began to paint them.  I thought I was going to paint a layer of Kilz paint to cover the bright colors in the middle bedroom only to realize after I started that I had goofed and bought an oil based paint, instead of latex.  What was I thinking? 
Hopefully (?) the HVAC guys will finish their work tomorrow and then the plumbers can come back and install a hot water heater.  Then we must decide what we are doing with the bottom cupboards in the kitchen and order a countertop and get a sink!  That will be exciting.  Then I will have no excuse not to really get busy.

flowers on the bathroom wall are now gone
