Day 308: July 9, 2008

Ever tried to walk in a broken flip-flop? Not possible, let me tell ya.

When we stopped by the house this morning, the guys pointed out that one of the crystals was missing from the dining room chandelier. (Not exactly surprising since we had to buy the floor model.)

So Bud and I zipped over to the lighting store to get a replacement. The trip must've been too stressful for my poor flip-flops. The between-the-toe strap on the left shoe just snapped for no particular reason while I was driving. So we made an emergency side trip Walgreens for a lovely red replacement pair -- a $3 value.

In the second house-related excursion of the day, we visited Lowe's for some ceiling fan accessories Jesse said he needed for the sunroom. One part, he needed; the other, not so much. At least it wasn't an entirely wasted trip.

In addition to more lighting fixtures, the house got more tile today. (That's the downstairs bathroom in the photo.) And appliances! Jesse and his helpers installed the wall ovens, the warming drawer and the cooktop.
