The Race is On

T-15 days until the carpet comes in. We need to:

1. Put up drywall, mud and tape, and paint the downstairs area, since carpet goes in there. This is dependant on the electrical getting done, which is supposed to be by thus thursday. I see myself drywalling this upcoming weekend, then painting the next week.
2. Making sure #1 is done!
3. Pulling up all the parquet flooring upstairs. The child labor has run out, as their spring break is over. There is a section where the tiles are glued down with Atlas Brand Super Indestructable Glue, so I am renting a machine today to remove those tiles. This needs to be done by next weekend, as the concrete polishers are coming in.
4. Removing the front door. Needs to be done by next weekend for floor polishers. Will leave it a hole, and once they are done, will install the new door, which is supposed to arrive just in time.
5. Painting upstairs needs to be finished, although Jen is a master painter to the point where I trust her to paint after the carpet is installed.

That's the must-do list. Here are some of the other, wanna-do's:

1. Remove the cabinets above the kitchen island.
2. Install the new cooktop. Dependant on #1 first so I don't accidentally break the cooktop, and also dependant on it ariving.
3. Installing the double ovens. This is dependant on the electircal work upstais being done, and the electrical work in the garage being done so I have my woodworking equipment ready. Pretty skeptical on this.

That is a LOT of work. I think the first list is probably going to take up all the time.
