Beantown Bugle: The Build: 10/16/2013: Day 102

Each task that gets completed seems to open up a new space or bring a new level of completion to the house. Shauna is now using the master bath in the mornings and also getting the kids tubbed in there. Shauna packed up some of the kids toys and we were able to get the storage shelf out of the camper. We're even getting some interest in the camper for resale. We were also able to get two dressers upstairs from the basement.

Tim finished the dining room floor install yesterday. The matching looks great, it was the right call to salvage the flooring from the old living room. We did discover we will have to sand the dining room floor as the thickness of the wood varies a bit when reassembled in a different location.....not surprising. The first floor should be able to be opened up a bit as the unused salvaged flooring can be removed as well as many of Tim's remaining tools and our paint closet can now be removed. The electricians finished most of their work, but have a few issues to resolve with the existing circuits and have to remove the temp power pole before being 100% complete.

The newel posts have arrived and are ready for primer as Tim begins the stair work today. This is the last critical path item prior to occupancy. We are ready. The kids bedroom closet doors got their first finish coat today with the second coming tomorrow. The office was had the final prep work done after the primer coat to catch the last few imperfections.
