Condo development - Week 4

This week can seem rather discouraging for most Clients as nothing seems to have happened. But this is in 'viewing' as opposed to 'behind the scenes work'. Most obvious is the 'channel' which was drilled into the concrete wall, for the relocation of the outlet for the new location of the Dishwasher. Where the tub was located in the Bathroom, it will be replaced by a large walk-in shower, so the drain for it was also relocated and the base has been put in, along with the replacement of the wall board surrounding the room, and installation of the newly revised plumbing, wall and floor.
If you remember, this is a condominium, so the 'changes' are done by drilling into the concrete walls and floor, very time consuming......and loud!
Along with these changes, the entire Unit has been primed and painted including the ceilings, so the floor can be installed and as you can see, the installation has begun. Yes, I was hoping that I'd be saying that it was finished, but there is also something known as 'wishful thinking', on my part. Additional decisions had to be made at the last moment on shower tile trims/finishing, so the contractor could frame everything within the shower space. Friday morning is a 'glass measure', and necessary to keep up with our timeline.
By this time next week, I will be able to unveil the completed floor install complete with the baseboards so this part is slowly drawing to a close and then the actual wait for the delivery of the kitchen cabinets, and the completion of the Bathroom.
In the meantime the Client is visiting friends at their cottage, relaxing, and he can do this because I'm here as the project manager so I 'hope' he remembers to have a 'drink' for ME!
