Tank and I made it to the Taj late last Thursday afternoon and by Friday night, I was sick with whatever crud Tank had been generous enough to share with me. As far as my getting anything done at the Taj, it was a wasted trip, since I only worked a little bit on Friday and then threw in the towel. I spent the remainder of the trip taking decongestants, nursing sore ears and generally being a complete wimp.
BUT...
The Sainted Singing Plumber had completed his part of the job by Thursday and on Friday, he had put the subfloor down, making the bathroom look like an actual ROOM again! When I left yesterday, he had torn out the ceiling and was putting up insulation, in preparation for the drywall guys to come.
Tank double-checks the contractors' measurements.
The tub/shower combo is in!
Marly considers the options for the threshold. She's leaning toward a wooden transition strip.
Tomorrow morning, the drywall starts going up in the master bath, as well as the living room, den and kitchen ceilings! We're actually making noticeable progress and we're getting close to being able to paint and MOVE IN!
Shawn and I will head up to the Taj a week from tonight and work over the Thanksgiving break, then return the following weekend to move furniture (or that's the plan).
W.O.W.
We've spent more money than planned, to have the drywall and subfloor done in our absence, instead of trying it ourselves, but I think in this case it was the right choice. We're also leaving the floor in the master bath to a tiling pro and we plan to learn to tile in time to tackle the kitchen floor later on. The goal now is just to finish the items on the city's list so they will okay us to move in. So, we have to finish the bathroom and cover the pool and from there on, we'll be working on and living in the Taj. No more months with 3 sets of utility bills! Hooray!
