Herding Kittens

This is "Push Week", meaning lets get it finished up for inspections next week. I tied to schedule each sub into the house so that there wouldn't be more then two at a time. That way they wouldn't be falling over each other.

So much for that idea.

Today when I showed up the tile setting and grouting was not done and even though I called the company twice and was assured that they were on their way, by 2:30 I still had not seen them.

All of their tools were still in the kitchen (as you can see) so I have to imagine they will be back. They don't have much left to finish.

The backsplash is looking good, but still needs to be grouted.

The refrig and dishwasher now have their wood trim. The D/W will need to be raised to align with the cabinet line.

The hall bath has a free standing basin on frame. This was a piece of work getting into the house at the top is a single chiseled piece of marble. There is a shelf that goes below, but it won't be added until the hook-ups have been made.

Mac from Johnny's showed up to start the finish plumbing and worked around the one are that will hold him up the hall bath. The plumbing fixtures showed up mid-morning and we were short a few things that Mac will pick-up in the morning.

Jessee the Trim Carpenter arrived about 2PM after a morning appointment so we could go over the closet layouts, special trim items and doors. He will be starting up tomorrow AM.

Conceivably we could have four trades in the house tomorrow, plumbing, trim, tile and possibly Scott and Norma, from Bright Light. Scott was thinking about holding off until Friday which would be good, because Mac will finish tomorrow and Paul (tile setter) I hope will too.

By the time we get back up there on Sunday everyone should have cleared out and we can start cleaning up in prep for the carpet layers next Monday.

Marlys finishing of the glulams turned out real nice. They looked great when wet, but they kept their look now that they are dry.

Until next week...sometime.
