Tom, sounds like good progress. I hope you will take some pictures along the way.
My central AC isn't cooling for some reason so we may need to call Cotton (the AC guy) to come out. Need to clean up the house a bit if they are going to come inside though. The elderly dog made a huge mess all over the kitchen floor. I had cleaned up all of her messes last night but she got busy after that. She won't use puppy pads & just goes wherever she feels like. Not only did she crap all over the area rug & the kitchen floor, but she peed on top of it to turn it in to a goopy mess. & since it's about the same color as the rug I didn't see it & stepped in it. She also stepped in some of it and tracked it across the floor. If I try to pick it up when it's still goopy it just gets all over the place. I'm debating spraying the rug off outside & seeing if it can fit in the washing machine, but I'm more tempted to just get a new rug.
Since I've had some sort of stomach bug & haven't been up to doing much, I was playing around in Sketchup. I wanted to get the newest Pro version but I saw it's over $600 so I'll pass. If it ever goes down in price drastically I might consider it-- but only if I get free upgrades to newer versions. I'm a bit annoyed that they made it so that models made in newer versions are not backwards compatible with older versions. I still have the 2013 free version. Anyway, I decided to draw cabinets in the mockup of my laundry room to get an idea of what would look good & what size cabinets I would need. They don't quite make them in the right sizes to get exactly what I want (unless I custom ordered). I wanted three 24"W cabinets to cover the 72" area but they don't make one short enough to go over the window in that width. So, I decided that would be a good spot for a shelf & a closet rod- which do come in 24". I also did mockups to see what sort of end cabinet to do on the right edge. I tried with just a basic wall cabinet but also looked at what a corner cabinet would look like. I prefer the basic wall cabinets bc the corner one made the room look smaller & would probably get in the way. I was comparing the cabinets on Lowes to the ones at Surplus Warehouse & found that the ones at SW look like they have wood on the sides so they look better. The ones from Lowes (unfinished Project Source brand) have particle board on the sides & would require additional end panels. Even with military discount, the ones from SW were cheaper. I hope they are still available when I actually get around to that part.
I need to focus on my bathroom though. I need to stop worrying about messing it up & just do it. I walked on it to see how much I could notice the bumps-- I can barely notice them now, but can still notice them so I hope that smoothing them out will work. I'm hoping to work on it tomorrow. I need to stop procrastinating.
