Chapter 79: First Furniture Delivery

Today was a day of deliveries at our house, even though the contractors aren't quite finished with all of the interior work. Small details, like the moldings and the finishings on the spiral staircase, have yet to be done. We have been told that the interior should be complete by this weekend!


Our first delivery, the mattress, arrived at 8:45 AM. We felt bad for the men who had to carry the mattress up the stairs - they described it as a "wet noodle" because of how much it bent. We had an hour break before our next delivery, so we walked to the grocery store (about a 10 minute walk) to get a newspaper and some magazines for entertainment. When we got back we had about a half hour wait before the bed frame came. The men assembled it and we were able to put the mattress on it too (still in plastic wrap). Just as the mattress truck left, our last delivery pulled in! They dropped off a round, swivel chair on the second floor and the couch for the first floor. It was a successful day!
