We’ve been busy. So here’s a quick update, and I promise we’ll fill in more details later.
We’ve moved into the basement. That means our mini-splits are hooked up, the flooring is installed, trim is done, kitchen cabinets and appliances are installed. Everything is good to go in the basement, except we don’t have a kitchen countertop, our Panasonic ERV has a blown fuse so we need to switch it out, and we need to install doors.
Upstairs, the hardwood flooring is installed, and painters are there right now, you know, painting. Trim should get installed next week, and kitchen cabinets the week after. The powder room bathroom is done. I had a rough few weeks, so I’m tired of doing the work myself. Andrea’s dad, the owner of Pusey and Raffensburger in Lititz, PA is essentially finishing the project for us. Thank God!
What still needs to be done.
Hook up the AC air handler, install trim and doors, tile the guest and master bathrooms and install the sinks/toilets. Stain/coat the hardwood flooring. Install kitchen tile and cork flooring in the sun room. Order and install front windows – speaking of which, we decided to give up on installing aluminum clad wood windows, it’s not worth the battle with DC historic, so we’ll just do all wood. Painting them every few years is less work than trying to get an exception to their silly rule. What else, install the skylight, fix the porch roof, install the back deck. Decide on how to clad the fireplace, and then do that. Install the kitchen, finish electrical. Get working cable. So, what I’m trying to say is we’re almost done.
