Housewarming is scheduled! October 14th!!!!!

We're on track to finally chose a date for our housewarming party. We think the next 2 months will buy us enough time to finish many of our pending projects.
Here's the weekly agendas to get us done by housewarming time:

Week of Aug 20th-order POD to be delivered so we can clear out the kitchen, laundry room, man room, and hallway. We are going to then drywall the laundry room and various spaces throughout the kitchen and dining room, paint all the walls a flat bright white, and start the ceiling panels in the kitchen. We'll also prime and paint the entry, hall bathroom, hallway, and man room.

Week of Aug 28th-Matt should be on track working on the ceilings and our new silestone counters will be installed in the hall bathroom and kitchen.

Week of Sept 4th-Matt should be finishing up on the ceilings and start banging out the cabinet doors and drawers for the kitchen and hall bath. We hope to have the fireplace started at that time as well.

Week of Sept 11th-We'll have the pebble floors installed in the kitchen, laundry room, manroom, and pantry. After the floors are set, we'll start working on the baseboards throughout the house

Week of Sept 16th-Baseboards will continue to be installed and both front doors will receive their final framing. Matt should start working on the front privacy screen for the front patio.

Week of Sept 25th-Matt should be all completed with the front privacy screen and start working on the front benches.

Week of Oct 2nd-Matt will continue building the front benches and start building the bench around the acacia tree.

Week of Oct 9th-Matt will finish the acacia bench and lay the pavers in the backyard. We'll accessorize the house and get ready for the big reveal! The house won't be "done" by Oct 14th, but it will be 85% done....well...maybe 80%.

We painted the beams in the kitchen with a semi-gloss bright white in preparation for the ceiling panels to be installed. We are going to use the panels to hide speaker wire. We'll be running speaker wire from the living room through to the kitchen and to the back patio.

The front of the house hasn't changed much since we started landscaping, but it is not yet done. We need to find a way to light up the entry more:

Hard to believe, but our laundry room is effin huge and will become a "lounge". We're getting a sleeper sofa and setting it up as a chill pad/additional guest room. This is what it looks like now...whoa:
