All's Well in Renovation Land

This morning Mike Foster, our general contractor, dealt with all of the issues. Most were a result of miscommunication.

Now the pocket door to the half bath is in the right place. The sewer line is re-routed so that it is no longer under the front porch. This took most of the day since they had to hand-dig the rest of the trench and use a jackhammer and a sledge to break up a mini-boulder and a large mass of concrete and bricks. It was hard work. While we were away, they had dug for two days in the rain; then the trench caved in. I think that they are all relieved that it is done. As Lucas said, they are going to sleep well tonight.

After the workmen left, I removed wallpaper from the kitchen and half bath in preparation for the drywall finishers to begin on Wednesday.

While Mike was here, Bob Carpenter from Swiss Woodcraft called to confirm that the cabinets will be delivered on Monday. It is really coming together.

I am excited again.
