Flooring goes in, kind of

Well, did you know that flooring is very scientific? It is when you have had about 2 days of dry weather all year! The wood floor guy came with his handy dandy moisture monitor and it said that the subfloor was at 18% moisture and it needs to be at 12% in order to install the floor. Okay fine, he said, Can we turn on the air conditioner? I looked out the window where one should be and said, Well that would be easier if I had a unit. So I called my project manager about getting the air conditioner and she said, Do you know where the supplier is? And unfortuneately I do. It is on 1st St. Downtown Cedar Rapids. Mind you they evacuated to 12th St. So 1st St. has pretty much been under 8 feet of water since last Thursday. I have absolutely NO idea when I will get an air conditioner and then how long it will be until the subfloor dries out enough to lay my wood floor. All this has to be done before cabinets can be delivered. So if we were 15 days behind before, we are probably about a month behind now. I do want everything to be done correctly so I am willing to be patient but I'm just so excited to see it put together. The vinyl and tile guys were able to get in and do their work so there was some excitement. I have no idea what will be going on this week. I don't know if we are on hold or if the trim carpenter can start. We'll see tomorrow. Well I need sleep, so I'll try to keep you updated later this week. Em
