We are definitely on the way toward completion...just not in any nice smooth, well-planned manner. I don't ski but my friends who do note that the Black Diamond Trails are the steepest, fastest, most difficult. It feels like that's what happened in our project.
Just this weekend all this took place.
- We are pressing our various contractors to get things done because we will have granddaughter 2.2 staying with us in two weeks.
- This means everyone is working all weekend to get the hardwood floor and carpeting done.
- Wife is going nuts trying to pick out the paint colors because painting is supposed to start on Monday (today).
- It is critical that the bathrooms be painted first so they can be finished with the final plumbing and electrical installation.
- On Sunday they are installing the last of the carpeting in the bedrooms. But they don't ask us where we want the furniture. They put it against the walls as it was but not the way it needs to be for the painters.
- And they announce there is not enough carpet ordered to do the master bedroom. They depart.
- We inspect. All the furniture from the bedroom as been stuffed into the master bathroom meaning that there is no way to paint there. Painting on hold.
- 2.2 contacts us. She's not coming. She's going to stay in Spain.
- Our contractor comes today and tells us the painters are starting Tuesday (tomorrow) as we are on the schedule and if we don't start, the delay will be too long.
- We're not sure when the final bedroom will finally get its carpet and they still need to do the stairs.
Stress, yes. Am I living in a poverty in an undeveloped country with no way out? No. And it is all looking pretty awesome I have to say.
Hats off to Wife, design mastermind!

Goodness, your plans have to constantly change during this project, but you're handling it with aplomb, or at least it looks that way from afar.
a bullet list was definitely the way to convey all that news - so crazy!
