Week 6 Day 5

Well day 30 closed up with the painting being complete. I don't think there is a great deal ongoing this week. We've slowed the process for a week to let the funds catch up to the budget. I think this week the cleaning crew is coming in, the A/C will be hooked up, and probably some more trim work.

So far it's been amazingly smooth, and I can't say how thrilled we are with the end product (well almost end product). Bill is awesome, and I can't recommend him enough if your considering doing a project.

The STONE IS IN!!! Whoo Hoo! You can now make out the screen size, it's the big hole in the middle of the stone. Also a couple people have asked for some detailed shots of the columns so I've included them as well. The painters have also primed the ceilings and walls ans hould be back later today to prime the trim and doors.

Final paint starts tomorrow and should finish up on Friday. We're getting so close....

Painters were out today and primed the walls and ceilings. They also did all the prep work, caulking, putty, etc.Tomorrow is the big day, the stack stone is getting installed, and the drywall guys will be back out to do touchup work as well.The painters will be back Wed to prep and prime the trim. Thursday the real color starts going on the walls. So by this weekend, we'll know how it's going to look and if we should have hired a decorator or not.

Week 5 Day 1 (2/2/09)

Sanding day has arrived.. man I'm glad I'm paying someone to do this. Walked down to check on the progress and there was a solid cloud of drywall dust. I don't think I could see more than 5 or 6 feet into the basement....

Week 4 Day 5

Taping and mudding the joints has been going on all week. Since it's been so cold it has taken the joint compound two days to dry. Two coats later and we should be sanding Monday.
