Ch-ch-ch-changes

Despite being away for part of this weekend we managed to accomplish quite a bit with the time that we did have. Friday night Peter sanded the upstairs hallway / landing area while I laid the rest of the tile in the back hallway downstairs. Now that hallway just needs grout and it will be all set for flooring!

Saturday morning we got up bright and early and washed down the walls in the hallway. Peter drilled the holes for the pipes in the vanity, set it in place, and Derrick came over and helped him get the countertop attached. While they were busy there I primed the upstairs hallway - what a difference that made! Peter also got out and split some of our firewood - a good excuse to spend some time outside in the sun :)

This week is pretty much a write-off as far as housework is concerned so I won't really post a weekly plan. Our goals for the week are:
  1. Call the plumber and get them to hook up everything that's left :)
  2. Touch-up crack-fill in the hallway. There's very little to do here - mostly nail holes that aren't quite filled in.
  3. Reprime the crack-filled areas
  4. Paint the ceiling in the hallway
  5. Hang the rest of the drywall in the front spare room
  6. Get a first coat of crack-fill on the front bedroom
  7. Grout back hallway
We'll see how we make out.
