The Storm Before The Calm Before The Storm

I arrived at the condo yesterday around 3 pm and was met with a disheartening sight—a colossal mess. However, to my surprise, by 4 pm, the workers had cleared everything out.

Yesterday, the TV stand was delivered, and after my feeble attempt at mopping the dust off the main bedroom floor was futile, I had the workers assemble it.

Unfortunately, the condo is still far from complete. There are pending tasks such as painting, installing trim, finalizing the window installation, adjusting the doors to fit the new tiles, and placing various wooden fixtures, including shelves in the kitchen, main shelves, office area, entertainment center, and walk-in closet. Additionally, a new frame and front door have been ordered and will be installed upon their arrival.

The contractor mistakenly ordered a sink that was too large, resulting in an unfortunate hole being cut in the granite. As a solution, they have ordered a new sink and will need to install fresh granite once it arrives.

While the decision to move out of my current place and save money seems beneficial, I anticipate it will be noisy for the next few weeks due to the ongoing construction.

Here's the plan for today:

• 8 am: Head to the gym.

• 10 am: The cleaning crew is scheduled to arrive at the new condo.

• 12 pm: The moving team will come to the old condo to pack up all the belongings.

• 12 pm: The first order, including a bed frame, mattress, two side tables, a desk, dining room table with four chairs, and a table with two chairs for the balcony, is expected to arrive at the new condo.

• 1 pm: The WiFi technicians will visit to install the new router.

• 1 pm: The electronics order, consisting of a refrigerator and a microwave, will be delivered.

• The remainder of the day will be dedicated to arranging everything in the new condo to the best of my ability while still leaving room for workers to finish up over the next few weeks.
