We both arrived on Friday afternoon. We fixed the plumbing issue, installed Edison light bulbs in bathroom vanity lights, installed doors and door knobs in the 1st bedroom/closet and 2nd bedroom/closet, and started installing the dishwasher.
On Saturday, we finished the dishwasher, moved some stuff out into the storage shed, taped/prepped/painted trim and baseboards in the hallways/1st bathroom/3rd bedroom and laundry room cabinets and doorways, cleaned up paper and drop cloths, and began installing the hot water heater.
Sunday, Rick worked on the hot water heater, and I taped and prepped for painting the kitchen nook and living room. We ran into some problems with the hot water heater but believe that they now may be resolved. We painted and cleaned up the paper and drop cloths. I also hoed some weeds, ran the dishwasher, and installed the 3rd bedroom closet door/knob.
It's starting to get close. We have at least 3 more weekends of work, possibly more, before it's ready to move in. Then there's lots of exterior work to do. Next weekend will likely focus on the laundry room: replacing back door, replacing window, putting trim around window (inside and outside), replacing flooring, painting walls, installing baseboards, installing ceiling light, some electrical work, and more work on the cabinets. I'm not sure all of that will get completed in a weekend.
Some other remaining projects before move-in: ceiling fans up in living room & 3 bedrooms (3 have been purchased), remaining doors/door knobs installed, install mirror in 1st bathroom, sidewalks with ramps poured at front and back doors (we will hire this done and will begin getting it lined up this week), insulation blown into attic, touch ups on paint/baseboards/etc.
