Today we buy the next to last part of the kitchen project - the granite. Estimates from Delta looked pretty good, and we're going over there in about 2 hours. Yesterday we bought the sink, tap and soap dispenser. They won't be in for about 2 1/2 weeks but that's about how long it takes to get the granite done anyway. The part for the oven came in and it works great now. So today's to do list:
- crown molding for the cabinets
- finish touching up grout (this is getting old...)
- build panel to sit between the dishwasher and small cabinet
- Caulk along baseboards
- Cut shims under cabinets / install toe kick
- Cut a hole in the small cabinet for an outlet, install outlet.
And finally... CLEAN UP!! Because tomorrow family is coming over so I'll have a little help getting the new fridge in and the old one into the garage.
So moving forward, what's that leave us? A couple of touchup things in the bathroom - caulking below the countertop and above the bathtub, grout in between just a couple of tiles in the bathtub surround, and touching up a bit of plaster. All that will be left in the kitchen is to install the backsplash but I can't do that until countertops are in of course.
After that closes out then we'll be able to do something about the cruddy fake tiles in the upstairs bathroom. Nothing fancy going in there - just regular tile from Lowes. I'm hoping that'll just take a few days. The one question in my mind is how to raise the closet flange for the toilets up to meet the surface of the new flooring. Maybe they make extenders or something... gotta read up on that one.
Then we'll work two projects outside. Remove a couple of bushes that've passed on and do some landscaping in the back yard, and touch up the finish on the concrete foundation. There's a skim coat that's started to come loose in a couple of spots but that's just maintenance. Finally clean up the patio and then we are DONE!
