I met with Sean & Rob last night. They are the ones doing the flooring, setting the cabinets, hanging the doors and doing the finish trim work. They weren't supposed to start until Monday, but one of their jobs ended sooner than expected so they wanted to get a head start on mine.
I arrived this morning at 7:30 to find Sean & Rob already busy. They had moved all the boxes of hickory into the bathrooms or kitchen. All joints in the floor sheathing had been sanded and any screws protruding had been beat into submission. They already had a couple of boxes laid out in the living room and hallway. And the bedroom that will be Tama's was half done. This was by 7:30 this morning! I was afraid to ask what time they started.

This is Tama's room. The picture does not do this flooring justice.
34745
My mom's room. When I took this pic her room was only about 1/2 done.
34746
The living room looking toward the hallway. Couldn't get a pic of the hallway as they are covering areas done with cardboard as a precaution.
When I left today at 2:30 they had the living room about 3/4 done and said they would be back tomorrow morning to finish the floor, set the cabinets and install all the doors. They need to get that all done by Monday as that's when another guy will be in to do the kitchen floor, bathroom floors, laundry floor and the tile in the shower and around the tub. Then they'll be back to do the trim work. They expect to be completley done by next Thursday.
The cabinets got delivered today and Sean & Rob stopped to help get them into the house.
34749
This is one of the corner cabinets. Had to take it out of it's protective wrap to get it in the house.
Sean & Rob are the epitome of a well oiled machine. No wasted movements and they each do a specific job.
I may do another update Sunday as the flooring and cabinets should be in.
It's getting closer.
Thanks for looking.
