So today we are in a major snow storm. I really didn’t expect anyone to show up to work as it is nasty out. Schools were closed last night already and now today half the town is closed. Imagine my surprise when I heard the door open and close at 9:15! Our painter, Andy, was here to start the kitchen and bathroom. He was able to get the kitchen done and his helper got the downstairs bathroom ceiling painted. The main contractor, Roger, who has done the majority of the work also showed up!
Anyways, to sum it up. Tomorrow Andy will be back to start the upstairs since we need that done in order for the guy to come do the floors. His helper will finish up the bathroom downstairs. When he is done with that, Roger will be here patching in the tile, installing our pine baseboards, swapping out the toilets* and hopefully moving the washer and drier in there! Can we say finished basement bathroom any one?!?! In case you can’t tell, I’m very excited!
*I should probably explain about the toilets. In the upstairs bathroom we had a new one and the one in the basement bathroom was in the house when it was bought. In all honesty I hated that one, probably because I wasn’t used to it. Well all it took for me to change my mind was a plumber telling me it was old enough to be original to the house. So now I’m putting the “old” one in the upstairs and moving the new one down! Funny how that works huh?!
To make my post complete here is a picture of the kitchen as of today:

Here is the actual floor plan for the kitchen:



Counter tops:

Cabinet door style:

And this paper will be applied to the ceiling (and then painted):
