Not a lot of activity this week. This is no reflection on the drywall crew who worked very hard. They just took up a lot of the schedule, finishing up yesterday.
I started priming the drywall in preparation for the installation of the trim. The paint store was pleased to get an order for 60 gallons of paint which I picked up yesterday. Kilz makes a Zero VOC primer that I had tinted to match the base color in the house. The primer has worked really well. Low odor, very good coverage, and good workability. Most of the time has been spent masking the floors. We had covered the windows before the drywall started, and there were only a few tears that required repair.
By the end of the weekend we will have all of the walls primed, the ceilings painted, and the cabinets brought up from the basement. The carpenters can't install the baseboard until the cabinets are set. If all goes well, I should have them all set by the end of the day Monday. As a recovering carpenter, I picked all of the fun jobs for myself. Setting cabinets is one of my favorite jobs.
Tomorrow the doors will be delivered, to be installed on Monday. As soon as they are done, the rest of the trim will be installed, all of which should be complete by the end of the week. I expect the Corian countertop material to be delivered this coming week. SolidSurface.com sells factory "Select" solid surface materials from a number of major manufacturers. Some are from batches that do not meet a manufacturer's color specifications, and some are cut pieces that have a potential life on another project.
