Week #22 - The Finishing Details - Part Deux

(June 14-20, 2010)

I'm little light on photos this week. Despite my lack of time behind the camera as well as the ongoing rain, there was some good progress on the house this week.

A quick recap...
  • Paint - work continues on painting (spraying) trim and painting walls
  • Countertops - arrived and were installed. Wow! They are gorgeous. One hitch...There was some miscommunciation (or perhaps a lack of) that resulted in 3 holes being drilled in the upstairs bathroom countertops rather than one. H'mm...costly mistake. I had purchased the taps for the main and ensuite bathrooms (one hole required). So, after some time, my stomach migrated back down from my throat, I regrouped and purchased some different taps which are an adequate alternative. Hopefully this is the only complication that we run into during the finishing phase.
  • Tile installer and crew arrived to start installing the slate floor in the mudroom, down the back stairs and in the front entry.
  • Back deck was started before the rain started back up.
  • The sidewalk that ran down the side of the house to the garage was jackhammered out.

That's all to report this week. Next week is chalked full of painting, tiling, water line replacement, and other finishing details.
