We're kind of at a standstill at the moment. Cabinets are all installed. The next thing is the countertops. The plan from day 1 was to have that be another DIY project. Soapstone cuts easily enough. Just check out some videos and see for yourself here. Two problems with that - 1) I've been traveling a lot lately and simply do not have the time to coordinate the time and resources (i.e., friends with healthy backs) to get it done and 2) the corner area looks tricky. The walls aren't square and you need to glue 2 slabs together so its not as easy as it could be. Sure a good template will resolve that but that gets back to reason 1, no time for templating. So we have a contractor lined up and ready to go.
Offloading this project will allow me to spend what time I do have on skimcoating the dining room walls. Once thats done, we can paint that room and then the living room. Then we get the floors resurfaced on the rest of the first floor. That will make the house superficially complete. Trimwork will be an ongoing project thru the winter (as will some other projects), but getting the walls and floors done is obviously high on the list.
