5 days to go, we'll make it happen

After opening up, I spent the next few hours going back and forth between the house and packing the apartment. In the kichen, the crew put down a vapor barrier and the durarock (cement board) that goes under the tile. This will be in the back area of the kitchen. We wanted to get this in so the cabinets can be put on top of it and removed from the rest of the house where they are getting in the way. One bedroom got a first coat of paint, and I was pleased that I liked the paint colors I choose. The white on the ceiling isn't as white as I'd like so I may change it later. Things look bad right now, but we are still moving on Wednesday. We are even thinking that we may have to run back to the apartment to shower for a day or two, but at least we'll be living there.

Here is a shot of the back end of the kitchen. The granite tile will be where you see the grey cement board. The first tall pantry cabinet is in place. The flooring will end under the cabinet just in front of the legs. The fact that the flooring doesn't go all the way under will be concealed by a toe kick.
