Monday, January 11, 2010 - Am I Dreaming?

I have been burned by this promise many times since October, but I have a good feeling about this one. So many times I have been told that something would be completed tomorrow, or "we'll get to it tomorrow." Well, we will see how the next 10 days go. Everything is prepped and ready for a very busy week or so.

All of the drywall is installed and the mudding will begin Tuesday. It is a five-day process, so it should be done on Saturday, just in time for us to spend the rest of the weekend painting all of the ceilings and the wall behind where our cabinets and computer desk will be placed.

After a predicted dusting of snow tonight it should warm up enough to get the brickwork started on Wednesday and finish by the end of the week. Same goes with the front porch - painting, gutters, handrails...everything.

Hardwood floors and complete bathroom tiling start Monday of next week. From there it appears it will just be finishing up electrical, finishing up the interior staircase, hooking up and flipping the switch on the HVAC and all of the other finishing touches to be done by the end of the month. And, dare I forget, finishing the painting. Maybe I am dreaming, but we will see.

Still will have the staining of the basement floor, grading the yard, and other things to do on top of that, but the sooner we can get them out of the main living level, the better. It will be nice to have the house back again. New pictures to come soon.


Oh, by the way, our HVAC solution of putting all of the addition and one existing bedroom on the new HVAC unit while leaving everything else on the old unit was deemed acceptable. And they would re-route the duct work at no charge...although I feel like we are paying for it one way or the other.
