Ah, poor Sunny. They do get weird with construction noise. Mine's been through so much of it, that it takes a lot to wig her out. what can you do?

The work looks fantastic! I think my deep brown vinyl is pretty much exactly the same as what you got, lol. We got almost half the work done this weekend...bit more to go.

On the rants...
1- sigh. I have a relative who is one who pushes and pushes and pushes in an attempt to tire people out until they get what they want. It's exhausting.
2- Tell 'em it's not something you're in a position to take part in, sorry and good luck with the new venture.
