Remember last week we obtained a quote on the four bathroom countertops? I was very discouraged by the price. I asked the Penny Angels for assistance. Thursday we visited a slab yard and discovered pre-fabricated quartz countertops. I could not believe that 3 of the 4 samples we brought home looked great with our decor! Today we spoke to a fabricator. The cost for using this material with installation is about 40% of the previous quote. Yippee! Thanks Angels for helping with that search.
This morning at 8:15 we met the contractor working on Rental #1. He has almost completed the work. Tomorrow we will show the house to a potential renter.
At 9:30 we stopped at Home Depot. Seems to be a daily ritual. Then Doc wanted a coffee and mid-morning snack so we visited McDonalds. We each found a penny in the drive-through. (Coins #1&2)
It was cold and rainy at the Penny Palace today. The Landscaping guys did some clean up work and removed their tools from the Lawn Shed. Guess that means they are mostly done. Doc and I conducted both interior and exterior checks of the house to see how the rain was affecting things. Inside everything seemed to be dry. Found some areas which may need some additional gutter work outside. And I discovered a turtle in the yard! (See video).
Doc and I came home to work on end-of-year finances, tax prep, and other small tasks. Then at 2 p.m. we headed back to the Penny Palace. Met with a countertop fabricator. That went really well. So well that we decided to use the quartz in the laundry room instead of the laminate we had planned to use!
***************
On the way home we went grocery shopping. Three pennies inside and one outside of Store #1. Three pennies inside Store #2. (Coins #3-9)
This evening I have just sent emails to order the countertops and the bathroom sinks. CPP!
Total: 9 Pennies
