Unfortunately, I haven't taken any pictures lately! Past time to do so. Perhaps later today. But an update on what has been done / not done.
Most of the kitchen cupboards are in. One was MIA and should arrive the end of this week. That has pretty much stopped work on the addition as we can't finish much of anything else there until it arrives. When it comes, the counter can go down, which contains the sink so the plumbers can come back and hook it up, then the dishwasher can be hooked up, and once the plumbers / heating guys are here, the registers will be installed so the carpenters can finish the trim.. and on the cycle goes.
Meanwhile, we (thank you Kay and Terri!) put on a coat of Kilz (8 gallons) on virtually ALL the remaining unpainted walls and ceilings. That means the living room, the dining room the hall to the upstairs, and the final upstairs bedroom / office. We even did the hallway to the basement and two closets. For those of you who never got the original tour, we used Kilz for one specific reason. The previous owners were heavy smokers and the place reeked! If you don't seal it in, that smell keeps coming out for years on end. You have to use oil based Kilz as well. Over 8 hours straight of painting, but it's done!
Now I have to go back and tap out and repair some cracks before the final coats of paint can come. Lighting and fans are up in the upstairs bedroom as are all the rest of the electrical outlets. I still have to finish off the Data outlets in five locations, as well as the central location in the basement. We also have done nothing to the porch yet, but that will come.
Strangely enough, we must be getting closer, because I'm reluctant to take pictures because things are such a mess. That didn't used to matter, so apparently we're seeing an end!
