The Ball Is Rolling

Nearly more has been done in these past two weeks than the whole time I've been working on this house. The tilers spent all last week finishing the tile on the floors and bathroom, tomorrow the counter tops and hot water tank will be installed, the plumber is installing the fixtures on Friday, and the carpets and baseboards are being installed on Monday. The ball is rolling fast, and is not stopping for anything. I already dismissed a sub contractor that my general contractor tried to set up, because they were holding up production (they took a month to give me a quote for the furnace and hot water tank). Production will not be stopped. I've been working on this bitch for almost five months now, and I want to move into it. My life has been complete chaos this past month, and having my home base intact will allow me to start reorganizing it again and stop stressing, maybe grow some hair back. Oh wait, that won't happen...

Here are some sneak peeks at the cabinets and flooring, which are both looking F'ing fucking awesome:



Tomorrow I'm going to work on getting the shelves painted so I can start storing stuff in them to facilitate some heavy cleaning that needs to be done. The doors are primed and ready to be painted, and I will start preparing the trim to be painted on sunday. And I will hopefully get my appliances hooked up that day.

Update on the murder investigation next door: I have been told that it was a home invasion gone wrong; someone had a personal beef with the neighbour's son next door. I'm not sure how it all went down but one of the home invaders is dead now, and I'm pretty sure my neighbours haven't been living there since, most likely in fear of retaliation. It does make me feel better with the fact that it wasn't a random murder, so I am 99.9% sure I don't have anything to worry about.
