Details

The drywall is up, mud in the seams. The drywaller will be back today to spray on the final finish.

We met with Ray and Jill to discuss a few details:
• New pantry door will be painted
• New back door will be painted and have a light
• Put new drywall sanded spray coating throughout the back hall and down basement stairs
• Remove basement stair carpet and paint stairs
• Replace radiator in dinette
• Paint all of back hall
• A bunch of details about trim, bases, shoes, and knobs
• Replace wood around vent discharge
• Get quotation on tiling front entrance

We will probably do that last one. We need too and I was holding off because of “project creep,” but since we’re living in chaos now, we may as well get it over with. In for a penny, in for a pound.

We still need to choose the paint color. We will go with an off white for the ceiling and probably a pale burnt yellow in the kitchen. We’ll have to have the rest of the downstairs painted next year.

We’re still moving along well. Cabinets will be delivered next week. The hood should be in next Tuesday.

Ray just called me. He said that the floor underneath the linoleum in the pantry is maple and in good condition. They are checking to see how much there is maple. We may not need tile in back at all.
