Renovation (Week 27)
It's really almost done. I promise. Laurel is shocked!
Yes, we are really closing in on being finished. Notice the color of the kitchen. It may look slightly different from before. Yeah.... that's because it is a different color. A week or so ago Laurel voiced her distaste for the kitchen color. Then the architect chimed in and said that he didn't like it either. Now, the interesting thing is that the color that it had been for a month (two months?) wasn't the color that Laurel had picked. When the painters were about to do their first coat long long ago they put in their opinion that they thought that it would be too dark. So, stressed out, Laurel drove to the paint store and bought something several shades lighter, which is what they ended up using that day. Now, (months) later we are back to the kitchen color. They put up the original color in a spot. Then mix together a few in-between shades. And which one do we choose? The original color. So that's what is in the photo above.
The gas is now hooked up.
This week they also installed the front panels.
We also now have a fancy-shmancy thermostat with working furnace. It was on when we arrived on Sunday!
We also now have a mirror in the bathroom.
Ok, now I am running out of things that are left. Let's see, the floors need their second coat of the Swedish Finish (yes, we choose the nasty-horrible-for-the-environment high-V.O.C. crap so we wouldn't have to reapply it in a few years). The sconces need to be installed in the bathroom and kitchen. The oven needs to be installed. There are some light switches that need to be installed and the wall plates for all of the outlets need to be installed. Oh yeah, and the electrical outlet in my "server room" still needs to be added. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can't think of anything else. It's pretty much done. This is the last week. Then we wait a week and we will actually move on Saturday the 20th of October.
