If you want pictures, talk to Pete

As you can see, Peter posted some fairly recent pictures of our cupboard progress last night. It's even changed since those pictures were taken, as we now have our dishwasher in place and the sink cupboard beside it (the dishwasher sits beside the part of the cupboard that is stained, and the sink cupboard sits on the other side of that).

I went and picked out the countertop today and ordered it, while Peter met with a carpenter who's going to install it for us. He'll do all the corners and cutting out which will be great. He also said he can put the seam (grrr for 12' lengths) in the stove section so that there's only a small length of seam on the backsplash and at the very front. So ... our countertop should be in the store around Feb. 14th - how romantic ;) with installation to follow sometime after that. Now we'll be scrambling to get everything else finished.

Lest you think we've been idle, last night Peter finished the cupboard with the sink, and I laid the rest of the tiles in the master bathroom. Not bad for an evening's work, and we still had time to watch 24 before heading to bed.

The rest of the evenings this week are busy, so Friday is the next time we'll be able to work on the house. So, the goals for the weekend are:

1. Grout the master bathroom
   
2. Hang remaining drywall in master bath
   
3. Crack-fill one coat on each bathroom
4. Lay tile in half-bath (??)

In order to do this, since obviously you can't hang drywall or crack-fill in a room that has recently had its floor worked on, we will try to: Friday night hang drywall and crack-fill one coat on ceilings of each room. Saturday morning we will crack-fill walls in half-bath. Saturday afternoon we will: crack-fill walls in master bath and lay tiles in half bath. As soon as crack-filling is done in master bath we can grout those tiles. We'll see how well that schedule sticks ;)
