Aaron's 76 Type LT Project

Thanks, they are in the middle of doing painting and tile work is starting today. The house should be mostly done by the end of this month. Then we move to punch list items. So we're looking at moving back downstairs in 2H February. It's not as much about the actual work that needs to get done but more about getting subs to actual show up since there is so much work in the area. Labor is stretched thin due to them taking on so much work.  

The process is frustrating because it's so inefficient, even more than you'd expect for a remodel project like this. There are lingering issues with drywall texture that they have to fix but they are painting over them anyway. The GC is fully aware of what issues need fixing so if they want to fix them later then so be it. It's not the best use of time.

They started laying tile yesterday. We had wood flooring but decided to do tile, although I liked our wood flooring and would have re-installed it. It's a nice mental boost to see flooring going down. It's been concrete for 4+ months. It also smells cleaner after they sanded and cleaned the floors.

Tile guys are installing the final pieces and grouting today. Flooring should be done by Saturday. Then the kitchen cabinets will get painted this weekend and the countertops will go in next week. So by the end of next week it will look like a house again.  

Here's the tile with grout installed. Has kind of a stamped concrete look.
