No kids allowed to live at my condo or big dogs:)). I bathe the dogs in the kitchen sink. My son just said he thinks I should pay to have it installed since they are less likely to break the tile and can carry away the old stuff. I will get estimates for that.
my last foster was a 30 lb. Miss who fit into our kitchen sink. It is Nice when they do.Quote:

Building is over 40 years old and the tub is original.
How nifty is that!Quote:

Still need to hang curtain rods, towel bars, chandeliers, pictures, etc. My son is a huge help and will do that stuff. He had trouble getting our internet and tv working. I bought a chandelier and 2 lamps with individual crystals so that will take awhile to put together. It’s a quiet place and the dogs are adjusting well. I have a nice view of the courtyard and most units can’t see my balcony. I only have a neighbor on one side.
I have 3 closets and gave my son half of one. Everything fits with no issues. My entrance closet is huge and deep. Half is coats, cleaning supplies, etc and the other half is shelves for food. I put a shelving unit in there as I took out all the upper cabinets. The built in hutch in the dining room really helps. Pigeons sat on my balcony light and pooped while the unit was empty. It’s hard like cement. Ugh! I installed pigeon spikes on the light. Will also put on the railing.
My couch that was expensive and only 2 years old wouldn’t come up the stairs. The halls and lobby only have 7 ft ceilings so that’s a problem. Only people on the first floor get couches in. Everyone else gets a loveseat or sectional. I had to pay the movers to take it back to the house. Ugh! The buyers were happy to get it. I am exhausted but happy to have it behind me.
Sorry about the couch but so glad the new owners can use it. Can't wait to see pictures.
Enjoy your new sanctuary and home, TT. Everything will find its right place in the space. Glad to hear that the little 4-legged occupants are settling in.
Sigh of relief for getting closure to the last stage! Onwards for enjoying your new, simple space.
