and her 3 heroes,
they were knee deep
"on vacation"
in a hotel 10 minutes from home,
anxiously awaiting construction to begin
on their bathroom/laundry room following
"the great underwear fire of 2011."
well, since then,
construction has been moving along...
slowly.
the bathroom was gutted to the studs,
and the family room and guest/craft rooms
were emptied.
all items were taken to be thoroughly
cleaned of smoke and stored until
their home was move-in ready, or at least close.
to date, all walls in these 3 rooms
are awaiting their second and final coat of paint.
baseboards and trim have been installed.
shower tile has been completed.
flooring...check.
soon to come:
toilet, sink, light, etc.
and barring any roadblocks,
housecleaners will arrive on wednesday
in an attempt to
a) remove construction dust
and
b) clean up almost 7 weeks of grime that accumulated
from a home with no occupants but a variety of
construction workers
using the toilet.
and barring any other roadblocks,
thursday will be pack-in day.
all of their items that were packed out,
including every single textile in the entire house,
will be returned.
boxes and boxes.
and hangers and hangers.
stuff. and a lot of it.
and as overwhelming as that sounds to our heroine,
there is also the relief that soon her home will be hers again.
she will belong somewhere instead of
feeling a stranger no matter where she goes.
no more housekeepers and maintenance workers in her hotel.
no more construction folks in her home.
just her
and her 3 heroes.
and boxes and boxes.
and hangers and hangers.
and a mountain of pillow pets.
our heroine and her hero...
