The end is near

We're finally coming into the home stretch with all these umpty-gazillion remodeling jobs. The tilers come tomorrow to start the floor and shower in the back bathroom! The Chief has already scheduled the plumber to come in on Monday to install the new toilet and sink & shower faucets. The new bookshelves are completely done, the closet doors just need the knobs installed (the Chief got some temporary ones which he'll swap out when the porcelain ones come in). The wall cabinet in the back bathroom still needs handholds cut in the drawers, faces on the drawers, and the doors (handles will ship tomorrow, from the cabinetmaker who made the vanity and medicine cabinet).

The carpenter is taking far longer to do his things than we'd ever anticipated (he sorta promised everything would be done by mid-April - 2 months later, I'm wondering how much longer this is gonna take) but at least the finished product looks really good. I'd love it if this is all finished and the workmen packed up & gone by the end of next week. It could happen - the tilers will be finished sometime Friday, the plumber will only need a few hours on Monday to do his thing, so it comes down to when the carpenter finishes. I've taken a few interim pics, but will take more pics of the finished work; I'm really looking forward to taking those "Hallelujah, it's OVER!!!!" pictures.
