Summing up what's left

Saturday, February 07, 2009

Let's see, today Michael laid the slate in the laundry and installed the plugs and switches. Clark did the finish work on the bathroom window. Here's what's left off the top of my head.

• Siding - The siding was finished on the side of the house where we moved the window, but needs to be done on the back where we covered an old doorway and made the bathroom window. Then it all needs to be painted.

• Painting - The laundry room is done (maybe need to touch up a little ghosting, but otherwise, it's good), the bedroom has the first coat of the pale yellow, and the bathroom has one coat on three walls but none on the fourth as the window was just finished and the texture had to dry. So I have to finish the bathroom, do another coat of yellow and then paint the accent wall in the bedroom. Then I'll paint the trim.
  
  
• Doors - We're waiting on the arrival of the pocket door for the bathroom. The door to the garage needs to be painted, the other 3 need to be stained. Door knobs have to be purchased for 2 of them.
  

• Flooring - Michael will grout the slate and we'll return the washer/dryer to their rightful home (I call doing the first load of laundry!). Bathroom tile still must be installed (including the shower surround). Carpet will be ordered in the next week or so.

• Fixtures - Install the shower head and valve, build the floating cabinet for the sink and mount said sink along with the faucet. Purchase and install the toilet. Mount wall plates on the plugs and switches.

• Lighting - The only unfinished light is in the bedroom. Currently just a bare bulb, it needs a cover.

So, tomorrow, after I go to Home Depot to get one more gallon of the yellow, I'll be trying to finish out the painting. We hope to finish all the necessary elements to have our final inspection (though I'm not sure exactly what they require - probably not carpet, but definitely a finished shower) within the next week.
