Day 2 at 890 Queen

So the whole IKEA lamp hack thing is not going so well. IKEA North York said that they had some but when Gord got there they didn't have them, system was wrong, big system, big store, a gazillion employees but no KRYSSBO for me, I think that a smaller business would have at least checked and then put the item on hold for me! Small business 1, Big business 0 (but for this particular small business it's also a zero)

I ordered the tiles yesterday from Downtown Lumber and was trying to make arrangements to rent a truck to pick them up on Thursday when it occurred to me... "do you deliver?"... "Yes!" and it will be a free delivery! why don't these thing occur to me faster. I feel like I can count on these guys, I highly recommend them and they really know their product, a very refreshing change.

Dealing with the junk left behind and the rubbish left from my demolition tomorrow can be quite expensive. I called the 1800-GOTJUNK people today, it looks like it will cost about 400.00 to take it away! Way too much! Sure would be a handy service as they will bring it upstairs for me and everything but I think I may end up doing this myself. But it may be much more work than I think. The GOTJUNK guys are coming by next week to give me fee no obligation quote anyway.

I have made arrangements for the baby to hang out with my friend for a few hours tomorrow morning and I will enter 890 Queen with a sledge hammer and tile scraper. Wish me luck!

...If anyone has any leads on the KRYSSBO Pendant Light from IKEA please let me know. I know that I can get them if I drive to the States but there isn't one close enough.
