Things are coming along albeit slowly. This week we had a long conversation with our contractor about communicating with us and not making decisions without consulting us. He was going to skip several steps in order to stick to the original timeline. We expressed that we want things done right not half-way. I think he listened to at least part of the conversation. In talking to many other people who have or are doing renovations there seems to be a theme - contractors do NOT know how to communicate. It's completely maddening.
That said, after our little heart to heart, we did make some progress this week. Drywall is all up, plumbing in place and we finished painting Saturday night.
Cabinets start going in on Monday. If all goes well, they will measure for countertops on Thursday.
One of the things I've noticed as we've worked on the house is how dingy the walls get and you don't even notice. Until you take everything out. Then all those spots stand right out. And some things are just confusifying. Like how do food splatters get on the wall behind the armoire in the kitchen? There wasn't any food in there and it was up against the wall. I just don't get it.
