General Update
Soapstone cabinets from Dorado Soapstone and Moros Fabrication have been templated. Should be ready to install 2/19.
Base cabinets will be repainted on site Sat 2/17. Terry, the cabinet maker will be here tomorrow to scribe the sink cabinet (it's a farmhouse sink so the front face of teh cabinet has to be cut to fit the contour of the sink).
I'm also meeting a carpet installer to measure for carpet.
Hardwood stair treads were installed this week. Recvd samples of iron balusters today from www.stairpartswarehouse.com; Pete and Todd will confirm quantity and we will order.
Ordered the wood beams from www.fauxwoodbeams.com this week.
Tile guy is 80% done with marble in master (I learned tonight that the color changes with moisture, so the part that is in mortar looked different than the rest-- I was scared for a moment.)
Drywall is finally done.
Stucco is 98% done. Still waiting on better weather to get the front steps poured so we can start the stone work.
A few things learned:
There is part of a steel beam sticking 1/2" out at ceiling of basement bathroom. In the future I'll watch for this (fix is easy- add crown molding)
Don't plan on 4" for door casing, plan on 7" to allow for the top of the header that has a return.
Confirm all selections-- drywall and stucco both cost more because of the texture we chose-- but the subs didn't bother to tell anyone this information when we were making the selection!
We have done a good job with the trim carpenters (and tile guy) of keeping an itemized list up to date of all jobs and costs. Never just say-- add this or that, without getting a cost (the garage remodel was exactly this and it cost 3x the budget).
