Ray does the final fix-its and walk-through. There were very few, in my estimate, but it did take several hours, and I appreciated the care he took to make everything right. We reminisced about the transformation. When the floor and living room are done, we will have a party and invite the Simply Kitchens crew to see the finished project.
It was hard to believe that wouldn't see the SK guy again, until the party anyway. They have a new project starting Sept. 28 and I wish them good fortune. I know the design and final kitchen will turn out beautifully.
With a final signature and handshake, Ray was off with the trailer (they had done a very nice job of clean up, taking away everything). Now we were on our own to finish painting and taking up the awful carpet.
While Ray was over the window coverings guy was over. Like Weatherite, the company, Rico's, is one we've done business with before, and we are return customers. Initially, the purpose was to replace the Roman shade in John's office, as it was showing several years of cat rubbings and he wanted one that could go top-down. We went with a duette with a light blocking layer. I was going to wait on the kitchen window but decided to get a top-down duette as well, for privacy. We found a color that is very compatible with the counter and cabinets.
That evening we went back to the store for tile supplies - a friend of ours was going to lay the tile Saturday - and we got the inspiration to get a border set of rectangular slate in place of the squares we chose earlier. When we got home it looked so much better, so it was a fortuitous trip. John laid out the pattern and we looked forward to one more item on the checklist getting done.
