General Update

April 6th, 2009 at 06:42 pm

Life is well. The cabinet refacers are currently working in my kitchen and I will have a week off to work on the house coming up in about 2 weeks. Still waiting for the phone call from the window guy regarding installation though he has confirmed that he has the windows now, just have to wait for the crew to be available.

We did our first week of cash and did well and are now on our second week of cash. We will see how well this week goes. We have about $17 left but we did spend Sunday cooking so we should have lots of food to eat. (Ironically, it was groceries that were high this week, not eating out expenses).

As I told my husband, we will see if we stop spending when the cash runs out or if we are like our friend and whip out the ATM card as soon as we run out. I personally think we are going to learn to love the dollar menu this week...

On one hand, I am wondering if I am being too stingy with our budget but on the other, I would like to pay off everything as quickly as possible. Food is an extreme variable for our budget.

    It's such a pain waiting for window guys! I swear they don't know people WORK. Thankfully my schedule is somewhat flexible and I was able to schedule 2 days at "last minute" for them to come out. They got lazy and didn't feel like going out to buy sand to fix the textured wall - they put in a window where there wasn't one. They said they'd just come back "tomorrow" to finish the job. I told them they had to figure something out because I work for a living!! Grrrr.... You only know there's no sand in that spot if you go up to the wall and feel it. It's above the window!!!

    Cabinet facers finished up yesterday. Looks gorgeous, kitchen looks so much lighter.
