Ya know, it might not take you a decade to finish your projects if you weren't watching so many movies!
Once the project is done I'd like to, nearly all of what's pictured belonged to my brother. I'm not sure even he knew what he had since this is really the first time anything that fits in a CD or DVD box has been in the same place at the same time. It took hours to organize everything into categories, then to make sure that the box matches the disc that's inside. He would take something out and play it, then put that disc inside the box for whatever he wanted next, ...Mom Class of '03,'05 and '09 said:

The punchlist is coming along but not as fast as I want it to, and it's grown a bit. It seemed like I haven't gotten anything accomplished at all until I started marking through stuff that's done. Also the half bath sink that I ordered back in August showed up last night along with the server closet electronics rack so I can finally template the half bath layout. I'll have to grab a picture from above because that's the only way any of it will make sense.Quote:
- connect shower and tub drain under the house
- Finish baseboards and casing
- Make template for half bath sink layout
- Hook plumbing up after countertop is in
- Tile half bath after countertop is in
Seal, grout tileAttach shower hardware- Caulk bathroom
- Caulk bedroom
- Stain floor grout
- Paint trim in all areas
- Attach lights next to mirror, add light above closet mirror
- Attach closet laundry shelf
Paint bathroom ceilingPaint server closetServer closet shelvingInstall doorknobs- Call someone for shower glass, they install it
- Someone else builds and installs hamper
Light switches, faceplatesDoorknobs
That's at the top of our list. I've also been leaning towards the Vizio M/P series which come with a tablet as a remote but it's unclear how well or if they would integrate with a Harmony. I may go ahead and pull the trigger on a Harmony now so I can move all electronics into the closet and try to figure out a cable exit point in the wall that works with the TV we have now + something 75-80" in size.aezmvp said:
Man, do the harmony hub. Then you can do Alexa integration or use a cheap tablet as you remote.

he can always sandblast the back of that mirror and put in some lights.Aggietaco said:
What color tops did you go with?
Lighting levels look a bit low to me. Is the rib going to be OK with makeup application?
Countertops and the tub deck will be white in here, gray in the half bath. Lighting is actually on the bright side, for some reason my camera gets thrown off a bit at dusk. I think it's trying to compensate for dim light coming from the windows and bright light coming from the lights.Aggietaco said:

I think this house just goes on, and on, and on.BackwardsInBoots said:

LOL, when I read that the tankless water heater should get here next week, I immediately laughed to myself and thought of what you posted next before I even read the sentence!Quote:
I'm already ordering materials for the next stage of the project. The tankless water heater should get here sometime next week. I promise, no porches or garage apartments will be involved.

Congrats on finding a crappy stone fabricator! At least you still have half of their money (I assume) so they're inclined to listen to you.
I didn't specifically mention it, but if they have any common sense they would jump all over that option. They'd hate buying what we have since they were $660 each. The 3-hole one is Hansgrohe 18015001 FWIW and I could have it here between Christmas and New Year's since I still have another free 2-day shipping coupon through build.com. I don't mind paying the difference, it wouldn't be that much anyway.Corps_Ag12 said:Aggietaco said:

Agreed.
I hope they make it right. If they won't budge on the stone top, see if they'll at least buy the new faucet for you that works with the current layout.

I've said many times I would never, ever choose modern over traditional or even Craftsman, vintage and again that fixture is modern and f'in ugly but....it's not mine and since all your plans, products were documented, the absolute LEAST they should offer is purchasing a fixture of YOUR CHOICE and eat the price no matter how ridiculous($600 is in that category for a faucet).
I can't wait to see the completed bath and bedroom. You have done a marvelous job in all aspects from design to completion and I applaud your hard work. Ya know, I am an old lady and as such I have opinions and since you are a young 'un...I really do like ragging you about how long this has taken and the style but to have your vision of a completed idea and really actually get it completed makes me so happy for you and your family.
