Finally we hired painters!!!

At the house today it was full activity! The plumbers were there drawing all the cables for the radiators upstairs, both carpenters were there, one continued with the plastering and Bengt was installing our sliding doors, Kenneth the electrition was there and Fredrik was out there fixing the last of the speaker boxes.
Our salesman was supposed to(as usual he didn't get it done) fix us a new painter. In the beginning of this process he got us quotes for all the work that needed to be done on the house and that included a painter. Well the one we chose and that he suggested seemed to have some problems and the house company stopped working with him. So for 6 months now the salesman has said he's going to get us a couple of new quotes to look at. Problem is he forgot, of course, and the carpenters are now ready for the painters to come in! Panic panic! Well we got sick of waiting for Goran to fix this and made a few phone calls ourselves and hade a crew out right before New Year. They called with there quote today and it was reasonable so we said yes, you got the job! They are starting on Thursday!

I myself headed over to the paint/wallpaper store and borrowed some more catalogs and color charts so we can try and get something chosen. We have some good ideas, we just need to find them.

Andrew and Kyle are coming home after there vacation to Spain over Christmas so this evening we'll spend with them giving them there gifts and having dinner together but maybe later in the evening we can all look at some of the catalogs.

Fredrik and I have started GI eating today so I bought a scale and am going to even measure us tonight. Fredrik really doesn't need it but I think he's supporting me :)
