Appliances installed!

It was exciting today to see the appliances installed. Dan from PCS (303 838 5655) was awesome. When the oven didn't fit the cabinet he modified the cabinet (in contrast to the electrician who wouldn't even cut a hole in the cabinet). It was refreshing to deal with someone so meticulous and experience. If you need high-end appliances installed call him!

We were very concerned about the scratches that showed up on the hardwood floors 9sanding marks that sowed up because of the stain), but Votan Lehnert stepped right up and said 'no problem' and his crew came out to start re sanding and re staining around the baseboards.

Pete and Todd have some of the hardware up. Drywall will be patched tomorrow (had to move switches upstairs because they were too close to the wainscot and not enough room for the switch cover), patch where the pot rack/light had to be moved, etc.

I've been mentionin the covered up speaker wire in the kitchen, but Lisa, the electrician didn't know anything about it, so I hope finding it doesn't cause more drywall damage.

The Stone and Fence should be done tommorow.

Also meeting with Scott the landscape designer on Monday (303 956 3060). We're very happy with his deisgn.

Clean up

We were busy today cleaning up. Now that the hardwood surfaces are done, we needed to get the basement and bedrooms cleaned up so the debris wouldn't be tracked on the new floors. Rick from Colt did a lot, and we had a cleaner come clean the tile. Kaly and I also worked all day (one at a time) Some grout is already dirty, so that needs some more scrubbing and then it needs to be sealed.

The counter top guys were working, and one painter, but that was it. (well, and our friend Camille started on the mural in Kinsley room).

I did walk through the house with Doug, and Tony, from T. Browne Plumbing came by which was good because he said he would fix a couple of odd looking things with the master bath that his "worker/plumber" said were "just the way it is".

Overall though every day that goes by without all the subs on site is stressful, but in reality we needed the day to get the place cleaned up. I just hope we'll have lots of work tomorrow.


Meet the landscape designer tomorrow, the fence guy should come back this weekend, meeting the steel guy Wednesday, The gas connection will finish the fireplace tomorrow, stone guy is supposed to be back tomorrow (waiting on the roofer to waterproof the front stairs)....

At this stage there are so many trades involved it can drive you crazy.
