Monday June 1. The beginning of what will be the final full week of construction on our renovation project. The contractors have made it clear that they will be on another project starting next Monday, and any loose ends remaining on our project after Friday can be tied up in one day within the next couple of weeks. I totally understand their desire to be finished here, I am not impressed with their apparent impatience to move on. In fact, my wife and I talked at length about some of our gripes that have been simmering just below the surface for a while now. More on that later.
The contractors finished the painting in the hallways on the main floor and second floor, installed the tile at the back door and grouted the floor tile in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the heating and cooling guys worked on the plumbing in the basement. The in-floor heat is finished and has been tested. They also continued work at roughing in the pipes for the rads in the workroom and storage room. They should be finished on Tuesday. Then, when I am ready, they will come back and connect the rads in those two rooms.
Now that the drywall work is finished and the sanding is done, I can finally get the air conditioner ready for the season. That will make it much more comfortable upstairs for when I finish the closets and connect the QuickPort jacks. I just need to get off of my lazy butt.
