As my frustration mounts, my posts have decreased. But there is some good news to post, so here goes! W has been working feverishly and things are looking good. He spent the past week working on the flooring in the back of the house. It has been refinished at this point and it looks beautiful! Now that this floor is good, the crew can install the fixtures for this half bath, and we can get a washer and dryer! We bought a set yesterday and they should be delivered next Saturday. I'm hoping to my laundry here at the house next weekend- no more trips to the laundramat! Here's a before and after refinishing shot (different ends of the room, but same space.)
Side note: last weekend, I spent 3.5 hours at the laundramat as a result of a machine malfunction. Very annoying. A very fun Superbowl Sunday for me. I am going to LOVE having a washer and dryer again!
We've had a trickle of workers coming to the house, despite them saying these weeks would be the final "big push". They've started to retile the bathrooms (after completely gutting them back to studs) and it's looking good. And they've done some work on the dry wall patching. Not too much outside of that from the crew though. These guys drive me nuts.
Here's a picture of the master bath. There will be 2 shelves in each corner.
Guest bath. They replaced the tub when the gutted the bathrooms to redo them.
At this point, I'm very ready for a completed house. I'm really tired of sleeping in the basement. I crave a normal settled house with furniture. As I enter the third trimester of my pregnancy (next week I think?) I'm really feeling the need to establish our house. I know W feels this pressure too. There's very little that I can actually do to help speed things along though, since I don't have many of the required skills. Clearly W does! Take a look at his new shop in our dining room.
