New floors done and some furniture arrived
After several delays my floor is FINALLY installed. A few days later some of the furniture the designer picked out arrived too. I must say it all looks really really good. Now I have a designer sofabed & ottoman, lounge chair, a few counter stools, and new computer desk. The sofabed was so long that the delivery men had to remove the ceiling tiles in the hallway to get it into my condo! It turns out there is a queen sized bed in it! I thought it was a double. The mattress has two layers: springs in the bottom, and an inflatable air mattress on top. The biggest problem I have is my beautiful dark floors show every single spec of dust clearly from a distance. You can even see my foot prints because I walk around in bare feet. I have to sweep it a few times a day to keep it clean, and am always shocked how much dust has fallen since the last sweep. I'm wondering if my condo is going to be one of those places that looks amazing, but you are afraid to walk around or touch anything.Anyway... I can't complain.
So that explains why my website was down for a week or two. The floor installer wanted me to remove computer equipment because it was going to be very very dusty in here. I went to Orillia for a week to visit family and work from IJW's HQ. When I got back it took almost a week to get to a point where I could bring all of my computers back in and get things setup again.
