10/8/2013: Day 94 - Baseboard, Baseboard, Baseboard

Since the baseboard arrived Saturday, I was only able to paint 4 boards at a time as they were in 16' lengths.  After talking with Tim, he decided to cut them to length and label so I would be able to handle them.  After some thought, I was able to arrange the pieces throughout the house, primarily in the office for the shorter pieces and the living room, dining room, and kitchen for the longer pieces, in such a way that allowed me to paint all of them without stacking to dry. So, on a mission I started around 7pm and finished around 11:30pm and was able to finish one coating all pieces, nearly a hundred of them. 

Russ and his guys finished the wood floors upstairs today and they look great.  The plumber finished up odds and ends like the T-stat upstairs, the return grill.  Tim is working on the dryer vent and the kids bedroom doors are ready to be hung.  Tim has been staining and finishing the oak treads for the stair and it looks like he's getting close to having them ready to go.  His plan for 10/9/13 was to work on weaving the LR/DR existing wood floors.  Once that's done, those floors will be ready for scuffing/refinishing. 

We're not in yet but we can see the finish line and certainly have a good kick going.
