Another surprise

We hoped for Friday. Our backup plan was Monday. Our actual plan is Tuesday.

We have about eight hours to paint the entire house so the flooring people can do their work. We've chosen our paint colors and figured out how much we'll need of each.

Brad recruited help from his family to help us get it done, and a few coworkers offered to help.

Here is our gameplan:

TUESDAY
- Close in Charlotte
- Home improvement store for paint, supplies, odor-blocking primer, new door locks, cement cleaner and a new garage door opener (I don't see why we have to buy a new garage opener just because the previous owner didn't leave the remotes. What a waste of a perfectly functioning device. They should design them to be reprogrammed rather than replaced).
- Paint upstairs, then apply primer to subfloors (to get rid of pet odors).
- Paint downstairs and clean cement (our home is on a cement slab, so we plan to clean the garage and living room floor to get rid of, yet again, the pet odors).

WEDNESDAY
- Change out door locks and garage opener.
- Flooring installed.

THURSDAY
- Rent moving truck.
- Load and unload (it's amazing how three little words seem so small, yet will be our bane. Brad is convinced we will break our washer and dryer trying to get them down the steps from our second-floor apartment. I say we can strap it to an appliance dolly and be fine).
- Brad watches the NBA Draft (only if the heavy lifting is done and the cable guys get out there in time to hook it up).
