The punch list

We had a great weekend.  If you ask me, September is the best time of year to visit Marblehead-- the weather is absolutely perfect and this weekend was no exception.  We spent most of the weekend with all the doors and windows open and the radio blaring.  Now that the walls are painted it's nice to see how the sunlight spills into the room from every angle. 

We managed to scratch a few things off the punch list but we're looking forward to crossing a few more off the list over the course of the next week.  Paul and I took Tuesday-Friday of this week off to make a bigger dent in the to-do list. 

So, here's what we accomplished this weekend:

• grouted back splash tile
• grouted entryway tile
• finished hw floors
• finished painting
• hung grass cloth wallpaper on feature wall
• brought up furniture from storage

This week, our goal is to complete the following:

• install door jams, trim
• install window casings, trim
• install baseboards
• prime/paint all trimwork
• plane and hang bathroom pocket door
• install pocket door hardware
• install toe-kicks
• fix drawer slides on three-drawer cabinet
• plane and install end panels on island
• install microhood vent
• hang microwave
• install new radiant heat covers throughout

If you ask me, I think we're a little addicted to this home renovation project.  I'm actually looking forward to the rest of the week... I know, it's sick.

Sacha, your kitchen is so beautiful! I am so amazed at the work you and Paul have done. I think of you guys every single time we walk into a condo or house that doesn't look pretty but has potential. You're an inspiration!

What a fantastic kitchen. It looks super functional without looking industrial or sterile. The counter tops are amazing and I love the cabinet paint color. Great job!

I received my first loans when I was a teenager and that supported me a lot. However, I need the collateral loan once more time.
