Juggling the Trades

Work continues to move at a rapid pace on our major renovation project.  This progress is a sign that the contractor has a good plan in place, and all the trades are playing nicely!  If, for instance, you are ready for tile installation, but the installer can't be on-site for a week, it can be crippling to the job's progress since now every other aspect of the project that comes after the tile has to be put on hold as well.

As you can see here, the minute the final piece of trim was cut and installed, (or possibly before!), the painters began their work. The beautiful finish ties all the elements together and makes the cabinets look like one large piece of furniture.

Even while the painting was happening in the mud room, counter tops were being installed in the kitchen.

The subway tile backsplashes were installed in the kitchen.

And the trim carpenter is back at work, this time creating a simple beam pattern over the breakfast area.

Timing is everything.  No easy task for the contractor to keep all these cogs running smoothly and efficiently.  This machine is humming, and needs to run smoothly for a few more weeks till completion.  The clock is ticking!
