Update 2

Well, hubby was busy today!

He and his helper were at the apartment doing a few things.

They took the wooden shutters down and washed them in the tub.  At least I think that's where they washed them.  Yes I will be cleaning the tub quite well before I step even a single bitty toe in it.

Before putting the shutters back on, they took what I believe from the description to be a staple gun, and stapled some sort of plastic sheeting to the outside, so that they are air tight and won't let dust in.

There is still areas around the edges of the windows and balcony doors where the air/dust can get in, but insha'Allah what they did today will decrease the amount of dust greatly.  Hubby says most of the dust was coming in through the shutters.

Hubby also contacted the guy who was doing the kitchen sink/cabinet.  He will go ahead and finish it, though I'm not sure when it will be done.  The basic frame is done but he needs to put on the outside wood layer and then put the marble on top.

We need to haul the stove up from the store downstairs that's been holding it for us.  The building owner and our landlord also runs a store on the bottom floor.  How convenient.  Only we didn't but the stove from there, he was just holding it for us.

I think the plan for tomorrow is to start buying some things for the kitchen and at least a couple of chairs to sit on.

Until we can get the carpet we would like for our personal living room, we'll put down a layer of... well, it's not exactly carpet padding like we know it in the States, it's some kind of thin material that um, I have no idea what it's made of.  We'll put that down and then perhaps some wall to wall carpet.  But I think that carpet will probably be thin and we'll end up getting a nice area carpet to go on top.  That all sounds kind of strange, so I dunno, we'll see.  But that room, with it's very bright green paint, definitely needs the floor completely covered so that the tile doesn't show.

Will update more tomorrow.
