Midweek Update

Its nice having enough things happening to warrant a mid-week update.

After talking with Jesse last night the ceiling is almost done, but there is a concern that there may not be enough pine liner. We will know for sure by end of day to day.

We went over the next items for him on my list, namely "door hanging" and I found out that I need the tile floors grouted first. That will put this off until at least the end of next week. We will also need to get the base/case and window stools finished quickly, because he wants to do that at the same time. This is looking like a 3-4 day job to complete.

It does though again point out the critical nature of the Kitchen counter. That needs to be installed before the grouting begins because of the tile backsplash, e.g. the tilers want to do all of the finish work in one trip (as every sub does).

The good news is that the Kitchen cabinet work will probably also complete today , so the counter Fabricator can get going.

We did have a few items not ship with the cabinets; filler strips, refrigerator right side panel and the front panels for the refrig and dishwasher...oh and a couple of other things...the master bath cabinets. Seems as if that part of the order was missed. Knowing that it took 6 weeks for the cabinets to arrive that does put us in a timing bind. The solution from Jack at Persnickity is that we will be getting Cherry cabinets in the master bath with a finish that makes them all most identical to the Maple/Chestnut finish used in the Kitchen and for the build-in in the hall. The Cherry cabinets will be here in a week. Go figure on that one the high line Cherry cabinets are stocked vs. the lowly Maple ones.

Also got an email from north of the border (Canada, not Wyoming) that the sauna had shipped. I need to add this to the "to do" list, as I have identified "Pat and his merry band of man", as the installation sub for this project.
