Update - Week of August 17

Before getting into the latest photos, let's reflect back on a few posts ago and the scorekeeping exercise. Per the the posts on August 2 and 16, the following items were still outstanding:

Waterproofing of the new roofs - DONE

Laying out the pex in the master bedroom and master bathroom - DONE

Possibly laying down the new master bathroom floor - NOT DONE

Tile preparations for the rental and 4th floor bathroom - DONE

Radiant floors in the master bedroom and bathroom - DONE

Tiling of the kid's bathroom - DONE

Finished floor in the master bedroom - DONE

Maybe start hanging the fan coil units - NOT DONE.

Even though some of these items are prerequisites for others, the tally on the above is 6-2, so I am glad that we've "caught up" on these items and push ahead to the new issues as we face the finishing work on the upper floors.

Onto the photos going from top to bottom in the house. First coats of paint on the top two floors. At this point, the painters have concentrated efforts on cutting and the mouldings, casings, and doors. The field has had a light coat applied and the finish will be darker than what is shown in the photos here. You can probably tell that the color is darker and richer by the edges, which is what the color will look like for the entire field when the walls are finished.

The attic!

New risers and treads on the staircase from the 4th floor going to the attic.

Gabriella's room...we brought her to the house Saturday morning to show her and she exclaimed "Purple! I like it."

The kids' bathroom (you can see Tyler's room in the background of the first photo)...just needs a few hours of work to finish the borders and caps plus the grouting.





Their playroom...





The laundry room...needs concrete flooring and tile...



The fourth floor hallway...this color will be carried throughout the house...





The interior of the bay window getting some repair and touch up...



Master bedroom...pex installed, finish flooring installed, pocket closet doors installed, walls getting closed up...



Master bathroom...cement board is fully installed, taping and compound is up, radiant floor installed and ready for concrete....



Moving to the parlor floor...checking out more stain samples (we're going with the sample second from the top)



Wood restoration moves from the pocket doors to the double door between the entryway and vestibule. Here is one of the doors unhinged.



Little bit of bad news...the medallion which was located in the dining room became dislodged from the ceiling and was destroyed when the workers were installing the radiant floor and insulation in the master bedroom (which is located directly above the dining room and kitchen). Not sure if it was original or not. Definitely sucks though.

All in all, a decent week. The bane of Matt's existence continues to be the air conditioning system installation.

On tap for the coming week...

1) Hanging of the fan coil units for the air condition system

2) Pouring of concrete floors for the laundry room and master bathroom

3) Tiling of the laundry room

4) Commence tiling of the master bathroom (my guess is that this will be at least 2 weeks of tile work in the master)

5) Casings and mouldings in the master bedroom

6) Repairing and closing up walls in the parlor

7) Laying down the flooring in the rental
