Even The Dogs Will Be Renovated

These are Chim's "after" nails.  I think they need to be a bit shorter next time.
Tomorrow Linda is going to pack all the pictures, doo-dads, thingamajigs, and breakable items and move them downstairs into the two extra bedrooms.  She also has to take down all the curtains and empty out her closets.  It's kind of like moving, only not as fun because you have to put it all back in the same exact spot when the carpets, hardwood and painting is done.  Here is the schedule:  Pack and store on Monday.  Hardwood is coming Tuesday.  The painting will be done W-F and then again the next week on M-T.  Carpet goes in on Wednesday.  Pictures and decorative stuff gets put back in place on Thursday and Friday.  Linda has needed to do these updates for years and years but has been too lazy and unmotivated to do it.  Since she is a black/white.... all/nothing kind of woman, once she made a decision to spruce-up, everything is getting done at once.  Still to decide:  refinish the kitchen cabinets or just paint them?? New counters and sink or just keep the lame ones?  As soon as early spring comes, the deck revision is definitely next since it's a safety issue.  She said since we are getting hardwood, both Chim and I need to keep our nails short.  I guess she'll be bringing us both to the groomers one day this week so I can get a short haircut (no shedding on the new carpet!)
