Where I left things on Friday...

My back porch and back door (which is going to be changed out for a door that swings the right way) were in. Practicality and functionality was the main point of them. As long as they were safe and useable for the crew to haul in materials, that was what mattered when I left.
My basement stairs were ripped out so they could be replaced. Aesthetically, as well as safety-wise, it will be so nice to have new stairs to the basement.

John, one of the sheetrock and painting experts on the MNH crew, was working through the endless job of second coating everything with paint on it. He had caulked and patched and skim coated wherever needed it, primed the teal closet in the little bedroom (!!), and put the first coat of paint on the hallway built-in. I can't say how relieving it was to be able to walk away and know that the next time I went in, all the paint would be finished upstairs.

Meanwhile, the real work begins in my main level. Framing was being completed and sheetrock was going to be put up while I was away, both in the kitchen + back entry, as well as in the basement rooms. Soon enough everything will be ready for paint on the main floor! Also, paid for the cabinets for the kitchen right before going out of town. So, the order is being processed and should arrive in time for our deadline!
