The floors were finished off on Friday and they look really good. Its finally feeling like the place is starting to come together.

I spent some time on Saturday taping carboard boxes down to the floor to protect them from the cabinent installers who are suppose to be finishing up all the upper cabinets as I type this. I will post some pictures here tonight hopefully.

Also had a surprise call from the granite shop on Friday, they said the granite cutting and polishing was all done and that then could book an install for this week, so they are coming on Friday to install the granite! That will mean I should have a working kitchen on the weekend!

I also spend time on Saturday wall mounting my plasma screen, it sure is nice having it off the floor, the install isn’t quite complete since I still need to run HDMI and power cables to the basement. As well as find a solution for IR distribution (I want to keep all the equipment in the basement).

Things left to do (I’m sure I am missing something).

1. Pick out baseboards and get them installed.
2. Find trim piece for back of upper cabinets.
3. Pick out vanity for downstairs bathroom.
4. Repair drywall in downstairs bathroom and paint whole bathroom.
5. Try and return some of the left over boxes of hardwood (I ordered 5 boxes to many).
6. New door handles for all the doors in the house (just say no to brass colored hardware!)
7. Run HDMI cables through the wall for the TV.
8. Paint touch ups and painting baseboards.

I am still hoping that everything will be done by Christmas, it is going to be a bit of a stretch I think though.
