Palm Springs Meiselman Reborn

Crunch Time

I don't have any pictures to post but I did want give a quick update on our progress.

We are now entering what my friend William calls "The Domino Phase" wherein each action we take now hinges upon another action... The cabinets can't go in until the floors are in. The floors can't go in until the tub is resurfaced. The tub can't be resurface until the tile is finished. The tile... sigh.

The master bath is finally finished and looks amazing. Better than I had hoped. The guest shower is where we hit our latest snag. After the wrong tile being shipped fiasco that held us up for a week, someone screwed up and we ended up short on the quarter rounds so now we wait for that tile to arrive.

In the meantime, stuff is stacking up over there. All the appliances arrived last week. The flooring is there (about 50 boxes) and it's getting a little difficult to move around. We were going to order the cabinets but we don't have anywhere to put then except outside. Oh yeah, and I'm picking up a bunch of furniture for staging tomorrow. I have no idea where the hell we're going to put it all... Yikes!

Did I mention the 10 new doors aren't here yet either? They were supposed to come in last week. I've had to reschedule the door guy who's incredible hard to get. I just hope and pray that everyone doesn't show up on the same day. That would be a friggin nightmare.

Delays are to be expect on a project of this size, especially when we are acting as our own general contractors, but I had so hoped that by June we would be putting the finishing touches on the joint and sticking a sign in the yard. It's still doable but we have to kick ass and everything has to go perfectly in the next two weeks. That would be a miracle.

I'll try and get some pics. We are having a little summer kick-off shindig here next Saturday night (we had optimistically thought the house would be done by then - Ha). We'll be spiffing the place up as best we can so that we can have both homes open.

So here's the schedule for this week:
Monday: Pick up U-Haul and furniture. Finish painting. Plumber.
Tuesday: Tile setter and trip to IKEA (order kitchen cabinets)
Wed: Tub Resurfacing. Empty house for floors.
Thurs and maybe Fri: Floors go in.
Saturday: Party!
Sunday: Collapse

Somewhere in there the doors should arrive. The fun never ends! This week is going to be crazy... pray for me ;)
