post 24: tile, finish carpentry, priming

As of Saturday afternoon, 90% of the tile has been placed. They just need to grout!

Finish carpentry also appears to have maybe one or two more days to complete.
Painters showed up and primed the walls!

This makes for good timing to Vlad to show up with the cabinets on Wednesday!
If you're keeping track, items to be completed are:
- complete tile (Monday/Tuesday)
- complete finish carpentry (Monday/Tuesday)
- cabinets (start Tuesday/Wednesday)
- doors installed (both closets and office/upstairs bathroom)
- flooring in master bedroom (patching with existing cork floor in closet and new entrance/hallway)
- flooring in kitchen (flooring arrives on Thursday, estimate that installation will begin on Friday)
- flooring in downstairs bath (flooring arrives on Thursday, estimate that installation will begin on Friday)
- Kitchen counter top (Monday 9/26??)
- Downstairs bathroom counter top (Monday 9/26??)
- Paint
- Install plumbing fixtures
- Finishes
- Move appliances/large furniture back in place
- Final clean up
- We move back in - all we need is one working toilet!!! - Friday 9/30

Here's a picture of Garrett hanging out in our shower. We were both very excited about this moment!

OH MY GOD! Our new banister!!! It's so gorgeous! And functionally better than our last banister that hit at mid-thigh and would actually have made things a lot worse if you had taken a tumble. Safety first, beauty second.

Reggie is going to fix all of this. Garrett explained to me how - it went in one ear and out the other. Probably by Tuesday, this will look better!

More stuff Reggie is going to fix!

TADA! Kitchen screen wall!

Primed kitchen with screen wall.
