June 30th is the day we will need to be completely out of our apartment. The thought of that is a little overwhelming to say the least. That gives us....34 days to get many, many things finished.
Today is all about lists. First, you will find the list of things we have done since January 31. The second is the list of things to do before June 30. The third is items that will need to wait. I am curious to know which one will be longer.
Things Already Completed:
- gutting (January 31 - March 26)
- purchased windows
- ordered kitchen cabinets
- ordered kitchen appliances
- found a dryer
- bought a chair and a couch
- framing (March 26 - May)
Things Yet to Finish in 34 Days:
- electrical (April - now)
- insulation (April - now)
- plumbing (April - now)
- heating vents (install and clean)
- secure the sub-floor
- remove old back door and fill in
- put up drywall
- get drywall taped
- paint (officially pick colours, order and paint)
- order flooring (basically done...just need to pick it up)
- put in flooring
- build and install the stairs (both sets)
- install cabinets
- order counter tops
- order bathroom vanities
- get and install toilets and tubs
- purchase a washing machine
- install kitchen appliances
- purchase light fixtures
- built in shelves in the attic
Things That Can Wait....much to my dismay:
- the yard....so much for a garden this year :(
- the exterior of the house
- the porch
- the back sunroom/discusting mess that needs to be torn down...
- removal of the chicken coop...or whatever it is
- entry way shelf unit
- buy a couch
- baseboards and other finishing touches
- install the kitchen counter tops - only because they will take a while to come
I am hopeful that the next 34 days will be productive. If not, we will be borrowing a camper and setting up home in the backyard. Let's hope for the best.
