Yep. No Bathroom! No Kitchen!! And, No Electricity!!! But, the Furniture is in!!!!! Even the bed has been made. And, guess who did that?
Our Flooring-guy finished the oak flooring Saturday morning. There's a wonderful perfume of orange-blossom from the last application of the protective oil. Mr. You hounded the poor guy 'till he relented and said... OK, you can put your furniture in after lunch but, NO RUGS!!! Please, no rugs. The Heat was so atrocious, we had to wait-it-out 'till about 4:30PM. Then, Mr. You COMMANDED we lug the stuff out of its temporary home in one of the unfinished rooms of La Casa Grande and carry the pieces up to a their new home in the Upstairs Apartment. The temperature was hovering around a 100F. I had wanted to do this sort of annoying labor Sunday morning, when the temperatures would be at a more reasonable 90F... give or take a few degrees. I lost the toss.
OK... take a gander at our 17th Century cherry armoire, the Umberto I divanetto with an oddly placed 17th Century Madonna & Child... artist unknown and who cares? Neither will remain where they are... and the Cheap & Modern IKEA single beds cum futons up in the Sleeping Loft. I would like to add that the heavy oak director's chair is not a permanent fixture here either...

Another view towards the non-existent Kitchen. Again, that director's chair goes outside...
And now, for the Bedroom. Looks like someone died. Since the bed was constructed in the 1830's. the chances are someone has!!! Must remember to bring on Our Spear-itual Healer, Tiziana, to do her Spear-itual Work on restoring the proper energies, etc. I certainly DO NOT WANT any bad-dreams!!! Gads.
