I called our plumbing contractor & let him know Tuesday was the last open day to finish up in the house before the floor finishing begins Wednesday & that resulted in two plumbers showing up at lunch time. They spent about an hour & finished the drain plumbing for our two kitchen sinks and hooked up the dishwasher & garbage disposer. They still have to do the water filter & dog bath station in the garage. Also the indirect hot water heater in the basement needs plumbed but all that can be done while the finishing proceeds.

The floor finishing crew arrived at 7:30 AM today & so far the expected snow & freezing rain hasn't reached us. They masked off the closets that were full of all the stuff from our now cleared floors & also taped off our oven cabinet. Their foreman had to leave after an hour to deal with the frozen well pump at his house, so not sure if he will be back today. He & one of his helpers were kind enough to lift our largest uppper cabinet into place & set its base on either side of the cooktop. It is very heavy & I had put sliders underneath so it could slide from the Family room to the kitchen, but they just picked it up & carried it in. Peaches doesn't like the extreme cold we've been having so we got her a coat. Its a litlle big but does the job. Last evening she was frisking around so much, I had trouble getting a good picture.
