Closer and Closer

My plan was to upload a bunch of pictures and label them to give everyone an idea of just how close we are to being finished.  The painting inside is almost complete, the front room needs one more coat and that will be it!  the doors and mill work are waiting to be stained and then put up, the appliances arrived on Thursday and look great.  The upstairs bathroom vanity also arrived on Thursday and looks better than it did on the website where I found it.  The kitchen cabinets showed up on Wednesday as scheduled and I can't wait until it's all installed.  The new front door should be ready this week and the claw foot bathtub for upstairs should also be done soon.  We're also having the outside painting done - this time it'll be yellow, blue and white.  Only the bay window will be blue, the rough cedar will be white and everything else will be yellow.  So far I think it looks really nice.

The plan now is to stain the doors and mill work today and tomorrow.  The wood for the flooring will be delivered and offloaded to acclimate for 24 hours.  I believe the installation will start on Tuesday.  While the wood is adjusting the carpets and vinyl will be installed in the downstairs bedrooms (carpet) and the bathroom, mudroom and my work room (vinyl).  I think we're also going to have vinyl installed in the laundry room - this room was redone mainly because it was impacted by the rest of the rebuild.

I think the cabinets are going into the kitchen on Monday and after the first coat of swedish finish on the wood floor the appliances will be installed.  The greenhouse window is ready for installation, but I'm not sure when that's going to happen.

The upstairs is complete except for the bathtub, sauna and the new electric fireplace (that we still have to get).  The sauna will be installed just outside the bedroom upstairs.  We'll have that delivered once everything else is complete to keep the mess and confusion to a minimum.  The dedicated outlet and circuit is all ready for it and apparently the installation is very straightforward - fortunately.

I think we have a few more things to pick out - the lights for the boys' rooms, the dining room light, towel racks, hooks etc for the bathrooms.
