Weekly plan & BIG NEWS!!!!

Yep, I'm shouting ;) We found out on Friday that the plumber is going to come hook up our kitchen sink, dishwasher, half bath, and master bath shower this Wednesday! I am so excited. These last few weeks have seen such a difference in our living habits just from having a countertop and stove, so running water on the main level is going to be amazing :) So ... if all goes according to plan I'll be shining my sink (see Flylady) on Wednesday night. Yippee! Watch out Noonan Bible study girls - I might be a bit giddy on Wednesday!

Unfortunately, the reason the plumber is coming out early is because we need to do some modifications to the tub surround in our bedroom. We didn't account for putting tile underneath the lip of the tub when we built it, so now we have to have the plumber unhook the tub, re-do the surround, then have the plumber come back and finish all the plumbing (master bath sinks, toilet, and tub). The good thing about this is we've decided to hire someone to come tile the tub surround, so he's coming this Thursday.

As a result of all these developments, our plans for the week have been modified significantly ;) So ... here are our plans for the week:

Monday
- Build the wall to support bar-height countertop behind kitchen counter (it is going to contain all the pipes for the kitchen in it, so needs to be in place by Wednesday)
- Grout the floor in the half-bath

Tuesday
- Paint (second coat) walls in half-bath
- Wash floor in half-bath
- Level wall for bar-height counter

Wednesday
- Plumber comes to hook stuff up!
- Remove tub from surround and rebuild surround to correct height. Remember to leave access holes for plumber to reconnect the tub ;)

Thursday
- Plumbers finish work for now
- Attach face frame to vanity and stain
- Clear out back hallway and back bedroom

Friday
- Stain vanity (coat 2)
- Crack-fill master bath, back hallway, and back bedroom
- Hang door to half-bath
- Paint door to half-bath

Saturday
- Varathane vanity (coats 1 & 2)
- Crack-fill master bath (hopefully that will do it ...), back hallway, and back bedroom
- Install doorknob on door to half-bath
- Hang remaining drywall upstairs

So, if you're looking for us, you know where we'll be!
