Slowly but surely we're making progress. The painters have started priming all of the walls and ceilings of the house. They should hopefully be done with that today.
The the wood floor materials will be arriving on Monday so that the installers will be able to begin on Wednesday. The installers claim that they will have the job finished in a couple of days. So if everything goes as planned we will be able to have the stairs installed around the 1st of May.
I met with my tile guy this morning to go over the areas being tiled. He should be able to start next week as well. The only hangup there is that some of our materials aren't able to be picked up. Why? Because the container in which they arrived on a slow boat from China is being held up in U.S. Customs due to an ant infestation. An ant infestation!!!! So there is no telling when we will be able to get that marble. And until then we won't be able to tile the master bathroom or the shower of the first floor bathroom. We do have the materials to tile the guest bathroom and the floor of the front and back entries. So we will be able to get that done at least.
I spoke with our cabinet supplier. The cabinets are sitting in a warehouse at Pulaski & Diversey and can be delivered with 24 hours notice. The other trim materials for the house are all in stock as well. The only item I'm waiting on hearing back about are the interior doors. We switched from a painted to going to a stained door. Hopefully that won't hold us up.
We also ordered all of our materials for the exterior of the addition. We are going with a traditional look. So the siding is going to be 7 1/4" Certainteed fibercement with a 6" reveal. The trim is going to be miratec trimboard and will match the windows. F.E. Wheaton is supplying the materials and also pre-finishing them. The siding is going to be an Eiffel Tower Beige while the trim is going to be almost almond colored. I always thought the Eiffel Tower was bronze colored. Nope. It is actually Eiffel Tower Brown which is a sort of milk chocolate color. Mmmmmm. Chocolate.
