Next up.....Everything!

Well, we're about 2 weeks away from the end of our project, and it looks like there will be a whirlwind of activity this week to complete almost everything:

• Monday - finish painting
• Tuesday - finish cabinets (put on drawers and doors, panels); Counter-top and sink get installed!
• Wednesday - HVAC completes its work, toe-kick heaters installed, range is hooked up
• Thursday - Plumbing completes work - finishes concrete floor and drain in basement, hooks up refrigerator, sink
• Friday - Electrical finish

The only potential problem we have in blowing this whole schedule up is once again, the problem child - the bathroom.

Apparently the old plumbing fixtures that needed to be replaced are embedded in the mudding of the tile, and may not be so easy to remove, much less do so without disturbing the 80 y.o. tile.

And there was some miscommunication about how much tile we would need - we understood the tub fill would go in the place of the lower, middle fixture below, but when the plumber was here last week, he said that was too high. So now we have to cover that 5th hole too, and we don't have tile for that. Oh, and we have to demo the inside of our guest room closet to be able to get to the fixtures - the access panel does not go high enough. Fun!

Hopefully we'll be able to find a good solution with relatively little cost/time.

LATE MONDAY UPDATE:
So, the counter-top scheduled for installation tomorrow had some faulty resin. They won't be in now until next Thursday. And due to the demo needed to get the plumbing fixtures out, the plumbers won't be in until...actually I don't know when they are going to come. But the painters are going to take the plumber's spot this week instead. And then the tile???? I give up. Despite the normally very slick Google calendar the builders share with us, we're just going to have to go with the flow this week and next!
