Week 13 - waiting waiting waiting


We scheduled movers for July 31st.

Are these guys ever going to finish? We're at the point where everything is just about to be finished, but it's either half installed (like the cabinetry or the electrical and lighting fixtures) or waiting in the limbo of our smelly garage (appliances and plumbing fixtures)...the garage is smelly because the port-o-pot is right next to it, and well, odors waft. A lot has to happen before we can move back in.

Friday, the countertop folks came and measured for our countertops and then left. Steve said the turnaround is usually a week.

Monday our appliances arrived and are in the garage waiting to be installed. We got the GE Advantium oven, the GE Monogram wall oven (electric convection), GE Mongram 5-burner gas cooktop, GE Monogram 'Euro' hood, Jenn-air 'fridge, and Bosch dishwasher. We spoke personally to each appliance and welcomed them to our household...and appologized for having to store them in a smelly garage. The Bosch seemed put out, but then it is European.

This week, is interior painting, and the siding sub-contractors are going to remove our existing wood siding and replace it with the Hardi-Plank.

No pictures, really because there's not much to show right now. Steve has been by himself the last few work days as, the rest of the Commonwealth crew finishes smaller jobs.

  1. Patience! Its near the end, and just like packing there's always extra stuff that doesn't seem to fit anywhere, but it will.
