Vertigo Update #2
They still have a lot to do before closing, but it's very cool to see actual progress.
Color has now been splashed on the wall.
Cabinets are installed in the kitchen:
The flooring has arrived, and is ready to be installed:
And here's the living room. Behind the washing machine (!) is the dining nook.
I am really, really excited. It's all coming together. I am also incredibly stressed - I've only had a good night's sleep once in the past 10 days because I took a sleeping pill. Trouble with sleep is always the first sign that I'm stressed. My teeth are starting to hurt, meaning I'm clenching my jaw while I'm sleeping. The last time I was this stressed about anything was more than a year ago, when in the space of three weeks, I resigned from a job, moved to a new city and started a new job.
I describe this process as akin to spinning six different pieces, four of which are controlled by others and need to stop at the right instant and click into the correct place for this closing and move to happen on time. It needs to - I've given notice, booked movers, started moving money around and arranged for a final cleaning.
I'll be very glad when I'm ordering pizza and opening a champagne battle on July 27.
