(May 3 - 9, 2010)
Week #16 was all indoor work thanks to the blast of winter weather we had. By the end of the work week, the mudding crew had finished their work of art and the final sanding of the drywall was completed in preparation for the finishing crew. The siding crew wasn't able to get started on the exterior much to the delight of the robins trying to nest in our front porch.
Decisions this week revolved around the orientation of tile and hardwood. The 'details'. How quickly turning tile can give a room the wrong look or installing hardwood in the wrong can create a bowling alley in the comfort of your own home. This is where the help of the experts is critical to provide perspective on what does and doesn't work and the obvious and not-so-obvious reasons why things have to be done just so (i.e. bowling alley). Fortunately, all invites to the house will not include a byobs (bring your own bowling shoes) following this key meeting.
I got the lighting selection process kicked-off with a browsing session on the web. And I thought paint selections were going to be tough. The good news is that I know what I don't care for. The bad news is there is an awful lot that I like. I'm enlisting the help of Designer Sue to help with the hunt - scale, colour, wattage, and the list goes on. Hopefully I have good update next week on the lighting.
That's all for this week. Watch for some progress shots from next week - primer and paint, interior doors, trim and other finishing details begin. Catch you next week.
