Progress - Week of October 5

We gotta be getting close…seriously. The attic and fourth floor have had final coats of paint applied and we are in finishing mode on those floors…installing lighting fixtures, faceplates, light/dimmer switches, plumbing fixtures, and door hardware.
Lighting fixture in the attic….

Door hardware on the fourth floor…

The third floor…final coat of paint in the process of being applied (will be done this week). Master bathroom is grouted and awaiting installation of countertop for the vanity.

Parlor floor….the parlor (living room) and kitchen/dining room floors have been stained and have had 1 or 2 coats of poly applied. Moreover, the marble entryway floor is down and the tin ceiling in the kitchen is installed (just need to finish it off with the tin cove mouldings). First coats of paint are needed for the hallway which should happen this week. Also, the stair case between the 2nd and 3rd floor needs to be stained and sealed.

No shots of the rental although things are moving down stairs.

Short posting this week and I think the postings will continue to be short as all we want to do at this point is show a week’s worth of progress. Since it is becoming increasingly difficult to show where things are changing (that’s a good sign by the way), I think we’ll leave the major photo montage until the end when the work on the main house is done. We will of course still document big items like the installation of the appliances, countertops, hardware, and lighting as those things happen.
