Progress - Laboring on Labor Day

Progress over the past week was pretty good: fan coils arrived and were installed (but for one of the units); the kitchen and pantry were framed and sheetrocked; the bathroom tiling commenced; the wood restoration is now onto the ballusters; more hallway painting; master bedroom also painted; new floors in the rental; work commencing on the facade and window tins.

Before moving onto the photos, let's consult our outstanding checklist;

1. Air handlers? Dare to dream.  AMAZINGLY DONE
2. Finish tiling laundry room  DONE
3. Start tiling master bathroom  JUST STARTED
4. Finish framing parlor floor DONE FRAMING THE KITCHEN AND PANTRY; STILL A NUMBER OF AREAS ON THE PARLOR NEED PATCHING
5. Continue framing rental ACTUALLY NOT DONE AT ALL BUT ALL NEW FLOORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND THE GARBAGE IS PILING UP EVER HIGHER
6. Reclaimed chestnut flooring expected arrival ARRIVED

7. Hopefully replace the HVAC installer with another tradesman with the "Bane of Matt's Existence Award" NO FINAL CHOICES HAVE BEEN MADE BUT THE TOP 3 NOMINEES INCLUDE MY CONTRACTOR, MY NEIGHBOR TO THE LEFT, AND MY NEIGHBOR TO THE RIGHT

Now the photos...nothing new to show on the 4th or 5th floors, so let's jump to see what's doing on the 3rd (master) floor...

Painting commenced in the master bedroom...

Marble floor tile going down in the master bathroom...

Hallway painted...here's a shot of the stairway from the 3rd to the 4th floor...

Here's a shot of the 3rd floor (and you can see the library in the background)...

The painting in the library now includes the lighter green below the chair rail...

Framing up the kitchen...

Onto the rental which is now serving as the central repository for any and all garbage...

Work is also starting on the outside.  Priming and minor repairs to the cornice and window tins...

As well as the bay window...

On tap for this holiday shortened week:

1. Remove the garbage from the house...again

2. Install the reclaimed chestnut flooring in the kitchen and dining room

3. Tape and spackle the kitchen and pantry and prep the area for millwork installation

4. Patch and repair the remaining areas on the parlor floor and commence finishing work on the floor

5. Continue tiling the master bathroom - hopefully have enough of the wall tile installed in order to install the clawfoot tub and prepare for the area for the millwork

6. Install HVAC duct work
