Progress - Week of November 2

Getting down to true punchlist items...

Not a lot of pictures of the upper 3 floors as most of the space hasn't changed.  A lot of transformation on the parlor floor as well as the front door.

Starting on the 4th floor...Gabriella's room finshed...even the fireplace cast iron has been painted.




Plumbing fixtures installed and we're good to go in the kid's bathroom



Just need to connect the exhuast for the dryer and Melinda is in laundry nirvana.



Stairs on the upper floors are done.  We will install a runner once construction is completed.



Third floor hallway...



Onto the second floor...the parlor...interior wood doors and casings have been stained and sealed.  Just need a last coat of poly on the parlor floor as well as the kitchen/dining room floor.








The kitchen...






The walnut countertops are finally exposed...


Shot from the kitchen looking out to the dining room and the parlor beyond the pocket doors.



And Matt's nirvana...



The double exterior doors and the vestibule.  Hardware should be installed any hour...




The parlor level hallway from looking towards the front of the house.  Much appreciation to the expediter for botching my filing and providing restitution in the form of a new marble floor.



The hallway from the front looking back towards the powder room and up the stairs...



Exterior shot of the front door...looks much better in stain than in paint...



Our new (although it doesn't look very new) Bilco-style door to the cellar.  This sub-contractor gets the award for dipshit of the week since he hasn't finished the rear exterior staircase leading from the kitchen out to the garden in the back.



Check back next week as we document the move-in and show progress on the rental...
