7th - 16th

Things have slowed down somewhat.

7th - 10th:
o The tapers were here again, making lots of mess plastering and sanding the walls
o The granite guys came to install the granite around the fireplace. It looks good.
o The mantelpiece guy was here to re-measure, to ensure the fireplace is the right size.

I got the cost of the change orders from the contractor.. $10k. Most of it was the additional electrical work we needed done (e.g. light switch near the front door for the living room.. we've had to cross the great and dark divide to turn on the lights in the past; we also put lights in the closets, etc, etc).

Mon 13th: The tapers came this morning for a short time to re-sand the surface. It looks as smooth as a baby's bum.

A painter came Tue to quote for painting the living-room and hallway.. haven't heard back yet. Nothing else happened Tue and Wed. All was quiet (waiting for the windows/doors).

Thu morning, some dudes turned up to install the windows - two in the kitchen, one in the bedroom! They will be here again Fri to install the doors. Once this is done, the siding can be completed.

The kitchen cabinets will be delivered soon. We'll need to remove the hardware from the living room floor to make room for the cabinets. Also the fridge will have to move to the hallway outside our bedroom, because once the cabinets are installed, the living-room floor needs to be patched and sanded.
