Call In The Troops For The Final Assault.

OK — so the military metaphor doesn’t really work when the troops are Helene and Josh (well, I hope Josh — haven’t heard from him in a couple of days). Helene sealed the front bedroom floor yesterday and will do the living room, hallway and half the other bedroom today. Guess I’d better get that stain applied this morning!

I, on the other hand, will be assembling the last cabinet (and having Helene help hold it into place while I screw), and maybe doing a little painting in the laundry room so I can get the washer/dryer installed (even though Josh has yet to finish the drywall in there). Oh, and I should build the dining table that goes in the kitchen — a harvest table style, though I don’t think I’ll get the drop leaves done today since I don’t have the hardware.

Still have to spackle and touch up the rest of the trim in the house, but that can always come later.

Yesterday’s completed list:

  • Counter tops cut and put in place
  • Sink and dishwasher plumbed
  • First load of dishes done
  • Whitaker stopped by and picked up the lawnmower blade to weld and sharpen
  • Helene sealed the front bedroom floor and painted the last sticks of trim
  • Mark installed the last of the trim (which Jeff never had)
  • Garage was made a total disaster from strewn tools and saw dust.

More photos will be going up later today.

Oh shit – just remembered that there is a housewarming party at Jeff’s from 2-8pm, and I have to pack for Victoria — this day could get interesting. That blows the afternoon. Guess I’ll do that, come back, pack and head to the bank before heading back to the apartment. At least we got the last cabinet installed.
