Home Stretch

Most of the work is complete and we will be moving back home soon. All of the walls and most of the trim are painted, with help from Auntie and friends. Even Ohm wanted to help out with painting.

The electrician came out and did the final electrical trim out. He put in all the switches outlets and lights.

In preparation for the trim, we removed all the boards we put down back in December to protect the floors.

We were worried about the condition of the floors under the boards. They survived fairly well. There were a couple spots of mold in areas where water made it under the plastic sheeting. The most of the mold came off with some bleach water. We will try vinegar on the leftover mold spots

The finish carpenter came out and put in all the trim and made the bench.

The finish carpenter also installed the bathroom vanity. We installed the counter top (which we ordered online).The tile installer put in the shower and the backsplash in the kitchen.

The forms are up for the front and back steps.

We are having bamboo stair pieces installed to match the downstairs floors. We ordered caramelized bamboo pieces, but when it arrived, it appeared to be uncaramelized. Ohm's Mom stained all the parts at the last minute so they would be ready for installing today.

The concrete will be poured tomorrow. On Thursday and Friday we will install carpet. This weekend we will start moving back home!
