The never-ending studio project

This is getting really frustrating!

Weekends have been filled with working in the basement or going out of town - or, worse, waiting for my contractor/father-in-law to make the time to travel to our house to finish the construction projects that need to be finished.

I think, however, that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. My afore-mentioned father-in-law will be in town this weekend to put the final touches on the "real" construction pieces - leaving the minor construction pieces to my wife and me.

So, here's what remains:
Big Stuff With Father-In-Law
  • Install heating/air vents in my space, wife's space, bar, and bathroom
  • Build bathroom closet
  • Hang bathroom door
  • Shim remaining doors
  • Install counter and cut out space for sink in wife's studio
  • Install clay-catch under wife's sink

Big Stuff We're Hiring Out
  • Lay floor in bathroom
  • Hook up sink & toilet in bathroom
  • Hook up sink in wife's studio

Stuff We'll Do
  • Paint trim in my studio
  • Install laminate floor in my studio
  • Install curtains in my studio
  • Build and install ceiling utility grid in my studio
  • Prime and paint 2 walls in the bar
  • Paint bathroom counter bases
  • Decorative finish on bathroom walls
  • Install bathroom mirrors
  • Paint bathroom door
  • Install bathroom hardware (shower rod, toilet paper roll, clothing hooks, etc.
  • Clean underdeck
  • Clean
  • Clean
  • Clean


That seems like a LOT of work, doesn't it? I thing we can still meet our July 30 finish deadline, but we'll be REALLY busy until then!

After its all done, we'll have an open-studio party. Bring booze!
