When are you moving in?

 May 25, 2012

Of course, the question that we are asked approximately 55 times a day is "When are you moving in?"  The real answer is I don't know. What I tell people is "by November."  What Alok says is "2 months" (BTW, he always says 2 months, no matter how long he thinks).  

The 2nd most asked question, is "what do you have left?"  While I can always try to make a list, I thought that I would let the pictures do the talking.  So, this is your answer.  This is what we have left (in no order):  

Fixing the windows....repairing the windows...replacing the windows.... who know?

 

Fix the gaps... literally. Check out the gaps in the floor:

 Paint the cabinets:

Clean up the rooms of random stuff:

Tile the apartment bathroom shower:

 

Take care of the fireplaces (3 total, I don't think I have all the pics):

Get the fixtures installed, like in the small bathroom under the stairs here...  just in all 5.5 baths:

Install the stained glass window:

Figure out what to do with the destroyed stairs:

Cap off the areas in the ceiling/ceiling beams in the attic:

Do something to the attic stairs... ideas? 

Do something to these chimney things...

Install the fixtures in the laundry room.  We will eventually also install cabinets:

 Finish the upstairs hallway bath (later)

Put fixtures in closets to make them closets:

Finish the master bath (and all 5.5 baths, not all are shown here):

Finish the attic bath.... paint the tub, get some fixtures, grout the tile, and seal the window of death:

 Finish the rest of the outside (we've done about 1/8th)

 

  Alok is also still working on scrapping off paint.  Looking pretty good:

In good news, many of these things are being accomplished.  The kitchen was just painted:

Although they still require fixing, Alok has been stripping the paint off the windows in the nursery...looking much better!

 Some of the 7000 weeds were taken out too:

Here is a complete video tour of the house from the top down. Again, take your Dramamine before watching:

That's all for now.
