We received good news and back news today on the home reno front.
First the good news: There is no more bare exposed (plaster dust coated) concrete flooring left in the condo. Yesterday the cork underfloor was laid and today the Mercier maple hardwood was laid on top... in all rooms except the kitchen and bathroom... in the entrance foyer, dining room, hallway, 2nd bedroom and the master. Coupled with the montauk black slate floor in the ensuite and the limestone in the kitchen (both from Olympia Tile), all our floors are now covered. All that remains is to install the new higher baseboards.
Also our new candy apple red laundry pair from LG are now up and running!
Next the bad news: Our Scavolini kitchen cabinetry which had been promised by Dekla for delivery between November 20th and 30th will now be delivered on December 12th (at the earliest). Although they are promising to install it ASAP thereafter, this will push the window for fabrication of our caesarstone countertop back (since the templating and exact measurements to custom cut the countertop cannot be completed until after the cabinetry is installed). Since the counter top fabrication takes a minimum of 10 to 14 days, we are probably now looking at installation of it sometime around Christmas followed by installation of the new SS sink and (deck mounted) polished chrome faucet and glass tile backsplash (ordered from allset) until later this year or early in the new year! C'est la vie!
Meanwhile our contractor expects to finish up work on the bathroom-- including installation of the shower stall, bath-tub and Vanico vanity (with integrated countertop and sink) in the ensuite-- by the end of this month.
