The Inevitable (and Anticipated) Completion Push Back

Well, we knew the momentum was too good to be true, and it was. It seems that sub-contractors have lives too! (who knew???!!) and our drywaller has taken a trip to Cuba. So, the drywall should start getting finished late next week. We have been assured the painters are going to be ready as soon as the walls are ready, and that the hardwood and tiling will follow, so in the meantime I will busy myself with final colour, tile, carpet and fixture selections.

On a good note, the basement will be getting a good clean and a fresh coat of paint...... should evict some spiders.

Drywall Baby!!

The drywall is up and ready for tape and mud, it is unreal how much of a difference it makes and how the rooms have taken shape and actually look like rooms!!

And So We Wait.......

Now that the house's interior is ready, we must wait for the drywalling to begin which will "likely" be within the next week or two. Our contractor is gone to finish a job in the meantime, so it is going to feel like time is standing still...... we will use the downtime to get our final colours and tiles picked out!
