Posted in renovations..

This week is not such an interesting week in our renovation world.  We are continuing to move things out of the areas that will be worked on by the tradespeople and to get a jump start on the job of painting and the prep for it.  Today the moulding from around the doors to the bedrooms and bathroom were removed and there was mudding and sanding done in several areas.  The hopes are to have the children's bedrooms all done except the floors in about 10 days when the subfloor will go in.  Perhaps the installer will get the flooring into those rooms while he's here doing the subfloor.  One can always dream....  The kitchen and hallway will also be at least primed ahead, if possible.  The more that is done ahead, the better.  The hopes are to have everything done by the end of July so that we have August to just relax and enjoy it before the school year is set to begin again in fall.  

Today the plumber dropped by with good news for us.  The changes we are looking to make will be quite easy for him to do in a matter of a few short hours.  So, we will call him once the bottom cabinets are out and he'll come to make the re-routing changes to the existing plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom.  The charges for this shouldn't be too outrageous and that is a relief when you are looking to make changes. 

So, the rest of the week we're hoping to get the priming done.  There are a couple areas that will require more than one coat because of some totally wild colours we found under wallpaper.  I still have one wall of wallpaper to remove and two rooms to wash down.  Not very exciting... but certainly a necessary part of the whole process.
