Countdown

22 days and counting.... Still have lots of work to do along with a lot if packing.

Day 100

Nothing yesterday

Day 99

Went by the house and hung 3 of 4 curtains in Meadow's room. I also measured the upstairs bathroom floor for tile. The room is approximately 84sqft which if I get the tile from Tulsa ReStore it will cost me about $67, but I have a $10 credit and so does John. So it will actually only cost about $47

I Aldo measured the big bay window in the kitchen (need a curtain rod and curtain since I don't have kitchen now). I also measured the kitchen for wall trim. That came out to 65sqft (not including door frames), and Sooner Surplus has trim for $0.20 ft right now. So it will cost me about $13

I still need to order Andrew two more curtains and hooks for his room. That way I can get his curtains hung.
