movin' on

So, this week brought the promised tile guy. (LOVE the tile guy). He came on monday and finished the master bath trim, fireplace, other bathroom backsplashes, laundry backsplash and best of all the kitchen backsplash. Love, love, love this combination of greens with the pewter grey grout.
By tuesday, the russians were on a roll with the trim. They finished all of the windows and doors and on wed., wrapped up the baseboard. No work on thursday, out of materials and waiting for parts, but on friday they were back to finish up the windows where they had run out of trim, put on all the cabinet hardware (kitchen and bath), install the medicine cabinets, and the upper cabinets in the laundry room. They still have one set of pocket doors missing hardware, but it's on order, and there's probably a whole day of finish dribs and drabs to do anyway. (mirror in the powder room, cabinet around the heating system, in-wall ironing board, tp holders and towel bars and the like)
The washer and dryer were installed and put in place, but they'll need some more work before they can be hooked up. Tomorrow, the painter will start, and he's promised to "stay until it's done". He will too. Great guy, the painter. Next week, finish the interior painting, covers on the sola tubes (finally), appliances installed?, plumber, electrician, HRV folks, fireplace folks. YIKES! IF all that really happens, it will be more work in one week than we had all last month, and that turkey day move in is looking a BIT more optimistic, maybe.......
