The floors might be finished! But they also might not be! At the moment we sort of have Schrödinger's floors.
We last heard from our contractor last Thursday, when he said they expected to be finished Monday (today). If I remember correctly he said the floor's finish would be cured enough to walk on by Tuesday, although we shouldn't bring in furniture until Wednesday. Which was fine because, after the floors were done, we were planning to have a professional house cleaning crew spend a couple hours making the house truly clean before we really began moving in. Finally!
But no not finally! Our current weather forecast is really horrible for the next two days. We are getting freezing rain overnight tonight and expect up to twenty inches of drifting snow to fall throughout the day tomorrow. Governor Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the Missouri National
Guard, and the University of Missouri has closed the campus and canceled classes for the next two days.
We paid a visit to the house Sunday afternoon (the floors were lookin' good!), but we did not go back after work today, since we were making some last-minute blizzard preparations. We can only assume the workers finished the floors today.
Furthermore, we don't expect to hear from the contractor until maybe Thursday or Friday, because he will be incommunicado, working grueling hours pushing snow in the bitter cold for the next two or three days.
And there is no way are we going to ask anyone to come clean the house under those conditions.
Stupid winter. :(
