Playroom Part 4

 
  Jerry and I are getting ready to leave for Colorado Monday morning.  Our grandson Finn is graduating from high school on Friday and we want to be there with him.  I was hoping that all of the work on my "playroom" would be finished before we left, but it's not going to happen. 
Even though the workmen have been here everyday, some days as early as 7am, there is still work to be done.  But hey!  I have lights!  The lights have been a bit of a problem.  The first time I went to get the fixtures and the fluorescent bulbs, the wind was  blowing fiercely.  I walked out to the parking lot, and the wind blew the bulbs out of my hands and they smashed on the cement.  Back I went inside to get another set.  I got these home safetly, and when the electrician went to install the bulbs, I had gotten the wrong ones.  Back I went to get another set.  But today, they are installed and working.  I love the little outdoor light - it matches the paint and the roof.  Cute. 

                                                                                              
            
And check out my a/c.  Hope it works well, because it is already hot here.  When we left the ballpark today after Connor'game,the temperature was 90!                                                                                     
The big thing that is left to do now is the floor.  We will have to repair the cracks and dips before being able to install the tile.  I chose commercial grade lineoleum in blues and whites.  I think it will be very easy to keep clean and I really like the way it looks.  If I had more time, I might design some kind of cool pattern, but as it stands now, it will probably be checkerboard.
Stay tuned for the final chapter...
