15 days to move in! (hopefully)

Today I am really feeling like the pressure is on. So much has to happen before we can move and I'm just not convinced it will happen. It really feels like a whirlwind. But in a way, it's good. It will be a real push, but at the end of two weeks at least we'll be living there and all our hard work will begin to pay off. This is a time when deadlines are my friends. I could see this just dragging on and on if there wasn't a deadline in place.

I met with an asbestos remover this morning. We have linoleum tiles in the master bedroom which contain asbestos, as does the sticky black glue used on them. We arranged to have the company here on Friday to remove the asbestos.

The general contractor and his crew were working mostly on drywall. We spent some time planning as well. I also spent some additional time planning. There are so many details to keep track of! I met with a third termite company to get an estimate on treating the termites. It's good to have 3 estimates and we'll pick one company to do the work. I stopped at the house at 8 pm to drop some stuff off and I was surprised to see the contractor and his crew still working. They are really pushing to finish by our move in date which is nice.

This is a shot of the bathroom ceiling. This is a special kind of drywall for bathrooms called greenboard. It is more moisture resistant.


This is the door jamb of one of the interior doors. The crack is probably due to someone trying to kick it open at some point. Three of the four interior doors have this mark.


Here is a shot of the finished kitchen drywall. Yay! It really looks like a room now!
