The Condo Project - Week 6 - Calm Yet Productive

This week has been calm yet productive.

Finishing touches have been made to accommodate both the kitchen install which begins on Monday (week 7), and also an early partial 'move-in' of the Client before he leaves for New York. What this means is having a semi-working bathroom (sink and w/c), and the electrical ready for the placement of the appliances and painting of the walls (touch ups) throughout, and of course making sure the floors are level for the cabinetry. (Additional painting will be required once the 'dust' settles).
The install of the cabinetry should be approximately 4 days, and the measure for the counters will take place next Friday, which means tomorrow we'll have to pick up the kitchen sink for them to confirm its size for undermounting. (Never leave anything to chance!) Also I had two new doors delivered for the bedroom and bathroom. (opposite each other at the entrance to the unit). I really like them because there is a 'textural' quality to them having 5 separate panels of translucent glass to allow natural light to penetrate into the 'back entrance' area. (but why did I do this to the bath.........because I think it's sexy and bathrooms should be!)
I sometimes feel I have a tendancy to be controlling, but from experience I have found that if you begin to relax during 'any' renovation, one mistake can 'snowball' from one disaster into another, and this is the time when it stops being 'fun'. This is what it's all about, enjoying what you do in life and being the best you can be, you should always 'walk away proud', and hopefully you have learned something new each and every day.
