Bath progress and remaining to do's

48 hours ago, the baths looked like this:

And now they look like this (better photos later, these aren't that great):

Mirrors and faucets and toilets and countertops and sinks OH MY. It's so fun seeing everything come together; everything from the tiles and grout to faucets and paint colors and trim.

With the carpet scheduled to be installed on Saturday and the bath and shower faucets and toilets taken care of today, it seems like there couldn't be anything left to do! But in the spirit of recording this craziness so that we can laugh at ourselves in the (distant) future, this is what we have left:

- install frames on bathroom mirrors, caulk, paint

- purchase and install overflow valves and drains in both tubs that match the new hardware

- paint the top grates of the hvac vents in the baths so they seamlessly match the trim

- reinstall the hallway and bedroom hvac vents 

- reinstall the exhaust fan cover in guest bath that we had removed and painted

- reinstall the attic fan cover that we had removed and cleaned

- install the painted and poly'd vanity doors, drill holes for new knobs/pulls and install

- reinstall all of the doors (15 in total)

- install new knob on each door

- purchase and install new door stoppers where needed

- replace guts of each light switch and electrical outlet, install new switch plates (27 total)

- reinstall window hardware now that each window's paint is dry

- purchase and install window blinds/shades

- purchase and install towel bars/hooks and tp holders in both baths

- finish painting the three balcony doors that we kind of forgot about in our initial door painting extravaganza

- prime and paint the spot in guest room where we had to do a last minute drywall repair 

- replace the toilet flush handles w one that matches the rest of the hardware (maybe?)

- finish the final coat of paint on all the baseboard, crown, window and door frames (about 60% done)

- finish caulking all the trim (about 90% done)

- finish all wall touch up paint (20% done)

- finish all ceiling touch up paint (0% done)

- reinstall the painted closet shelves and rods

- carry all debris out to dumpster bag on curb and arrange pick up 

From there, it's all about cleaning and moving furniture back in and organizing like our lives depended on it, not just upstairs, but also in all the other areas of the house that are suffering because of the project (I'm talkin' to you, office, dining room, and basement). And then we'll clean some more. And organize some more. (And then decorate!)

I need a margarita. And a cookie.
