Day Forty-five: Status report at the 1.5 month mark

We made some good strides this week. The biggest one was the delivery of the kitchen cabinets, right in the middle of the estimated delivery time. There's a good bit of sanding and staining to be done, but for now all them are safely shrink-wrapped. We expect the appliances to arrive in bubblewrap. The tall cabinet will be a pantry next to the refrigerator.

With the hardwood for the studio and kitchen floors due to arrive on Tuesday, work turned to the ceiling in the basement. Not only have the 1980s tiles been replaced with drywall, but we've added three electrical boxes for overhead lights that will really brighten up a windowless space.

The finishing touches are being applied to the upstairs bathroom. With a vanity in place, this week we got the countertop and installed the hardware. Now we can wash brush our teeth!

Finally, the decorative tile for the downstairs bathroom have arrived from Mexico...well technically from a company that sells Mexican tile. With the laundry room floor down there also, we're certainly developing a theme. Salsa anyone?
