I spent most of the afternoon dodging t-storms and downpours visiting various locations and spending money like mad, ordering things for the house.
The designer has finally come up with a lovely kitchen for us. The cabinetry will be here in 5 weeks. Lots of time for Jack to do the plumbing etc and for us to remove the old cabinets, which are going into Dolton Proper....eventually!
Last week I visited a showroom which sells solar lighting. On their website they also advertise a solar fan. Today I ordered the solar tube for my kitchen and I ordered the solar fan too. Problem solved for Lofton. Now I will be able to play up there most of the year, cos the fan not only will blow out all the heat in the summer but it will also circulate the cold air in the winter. I imagine midwinter like January and February will still be too cold to play up there but that is okay.
For a very long time I have wanted a bay window here in the Heights. So today also I visited the people at Home Depot who do that. I saw the 'exact' window I wanted! And it can be tinted because the afternoon sun shines in this room and makes it rather hot and too bright for the residents LOL I may also get a bay window for my kitchen too. The kind I want won't protrude out too far to affect the vehicles in the laneway. But I will know for sure when they come to do the measurements.
All in all I am getting very excited about these home improvements for this place. I guess we were meant to stay here after all!
Walmart was on my route between stores so I just stopped in to browse around the toy department. I found this Bratz gal with the bedroom vanity and closet. Isn't it cute!!! I think the floor lamp lights up. Will know better when I open it. They also had the brunette with a different vanity. I think I will go back and get her too, cos I am sure these items won't hang around long. Even at $30, the furniture is worth it to put in a doll house.!
Well I better get back up to Lofton and start clearing the area for the workmen. They will be here on Thursday! Thank goodness I took down the doll houses and removed all the dolls previously. Fortunately with the rain today it cooled down the roof so it's not too hot up there.
Catch you all later.
