The flooring was ordered 6 months ago... guess what's not in yet? No floor = no cabinets = can't order granite = no mirror and backsplash. The moisture barrier was ordered close to 2 weeks ago so this I'm a little more understanding about. No moisture barrier = no shower and backsplash around the bath tub.
So what have I done? The hamper is up now. The doors weren't installed in the frame when it all arrived, so I built it up in another room to get the position of the doors correct, then installed it in the bathroom once that was set.
It came out pretty well... still needs hardware though but we have something picked out. The whole thing was designed to mirror the existing one, and the shelves that are built into the space. The old one was very well built and we're glad to be able to design a new piece that will pick up where the old front left off.
The lighting and plaster is also finished. This required running a few feet of new wire since we went from one fixture to two. Also two boxes because there wasn't one for the original light. From the look of things they realized there was only going to be one light after the sheetrock and wallpaper was up. It's nice having a regular light again! Door casing is also back up - it needed a few minor adjustments but it's back where it belongs again.
So at this point there is absolutely nothing left to do that doesn't require the flooring or moisture barrier. What to do now? I made a blueprint for the kitchen and will go check out a few stone and tile places, hopefully getting in an order by Wednesday. No, none of them are Carpet Source because dealing with them has been a total nightmare. I can think of absolutely no reason to recommend the place to anyone. If nothing gets in soon I guess I'll have to start working on the kitchen, or maybe paint the main bedroom although we were putting that off... I'll find something to keep busy.
