We have a few more things to finish on the house and the holidays of course put everything on hold as people took time off to celebrate with family and friends.
The installer for our cellular shades came yesterday and installed the window shades. Two of the vertical cellular shades for the sliders are done, but he was missing the brackets for the third one. I guess the people packing the order had Santa on their minds. The replacement bracket will be here in a week or however long it takes to get it shipped since it is already Friday afternoon. But I am was so happy to take down most of the paper shades we have had up for the last few weeks. In my ordering decision I couldn't decide if I needed a shade in my office/guest room of if a semi sheer curtain would be ok. But after being here for a few weeks I realize that I am often up early in the morning and want more privacy than the curtain will provide so Monday I will be ordering a shade for that window as well. But at least it is the last paper shade I have to live with a few more weeks. I also installed the privacy film on the master bathroom window. It faces a patch of grass and trees in the back of our unit. Although it is common area, only the lawn guys ever go back there. We have to test it out to see if it provides enough privacy when it is dark outside and the lights are on inside. I may need to get a shade for that window as well. The glass installers came yesterday as well and finally we have glass in the master bathroom. The first time they tried to install it they discovered the glass supplier cut one panel too short and of course that was before the holidays. It took all day for them to get the glass installed. It is a little funky shaped but we were limited by the existing foot print of the shower. Now we just have to wait till Monday afternoon for the glue to be totally dry and the joints solid. We had the courtyard powerwashed today. The pavers look so much better and all the mildew and or mold on the fountain is mostly gone. But what a mess while he was doing it. But very happy with the results. Our list of things to do is getting smaller and smaller. The window guy comes Monday to adjust the screens, I guess the rubber has to settle in before they can trim it so the screens fit properly. We shall see!! I will post some more pictures soon, once I get some things on the walls. XO
