So… things are temporarily slowing down since I was away and
contractors were taking Christmas holidays and vacations. Currently arranging for our hardwood floors
to be delivered and acclimatized so they can be installed. While I was in New York Stephen put the board
& batten paneling in the Sangria Room – looks great! It will be decorated like a screened-in porch.
The baseboards and doors will be ordered
now.
And tile to be delivered later this
week and Tony can start on the bathrooms.
Once the floors are in the kitchen can be installed. The countertops are not ordered until after
the cabinet installation so that the measurements are perfect. Now that the ceilings are painted the
electrician can put the lights up. Permanent
furnace can come any time now, and an inspection scheduled. Then of course trimwork and the painters
return for the final coat. Getting
phone, TV, and internet reactivated too.
Of course, everything we’ve done to date has been quality
work. But as someone pointed out to me,
what we’re doing now is what will show.
And if this final finishing part is rushed and corners don’t quite meet
up, etc, it will just give a “cheap” feel to the whole house. Although we’re anxious to see our furniture
again and get settled, we’ve come so far that it’s not worth rushing now.
That’s it for a while.
Will update again once floors are in!
