One More Week


Another week has passed since my last post. The whole apartment is still not finished, but there is some progress to show. It seems like it's always exactly a week from the finish line, doesn't it? Kitchen is technically done now that the chrome legs are supporting the bar.



Lots of new doors everywhere, heavier and with better handles than before. Here's the hallway facing the laundry room. The bed and bathroom doors still need paint.



The bathroom work is still lagging behind. The shower is pretty well finished and the sink and cabinet are magically hanging from the wall. But they still need to do the toilet, vanity, shower door, and towel rods. I figure they're waiting to install the toilet until the end, to prevent me from hanging out in the apartment.



My big vacation to Asia is only ten days away now. If I'm not living in my place before then I'll be disappointed.

Lights


Getting close now .. the ceilings in the livingroom & bedroom are finished and lights are installed.







Finally there will be plenty of light in every room. This should improve my odds of wearing matching socks.

Bathroom construction continues - floor and bath tiles are in place, just waiting for appliances.



Barring any delays I should be able to move back in (and start painting) next weekend.

Bathroom progress, cont'd


Sticking tiles to the wall must be tricky work because it's coming along very slowly. But it's all finished now besides the grouting and fixing the crooked ones. Hopefully nobody will turn on the water with that boombox sitting on the edge of the tub.



A few of the floor tiles are down too. The floor guy has great taste when it comes to levels!

Bathroom progress


The bathroom tiles are slowly creeping up the walls ..



.. and the new ceilings in the other rooms are looking good.



A little behind schedule now but hopefully we'll be 99% finished with the whole thing at the end of this week.
