A week to finish your floors? I've been in this house for four years and still haven't finished finishing the floors! (I have cut tiles in various areas to stick down, and in the front hall I have to scrape up old adhesive from parquet to put down thinset and tile). Then there is the sunroom. . .

At least you'll be able to plug in a CD player somewhere and have nice music to listen to while you work! The first year in this house I didn't have cable and didn't miss it--I was so busy and listening to the radio or my own tapes or CDs just fit the tasks so much better.
