How will I ever finish?

I still haven't touched the place. I planned on getting a dumpster delivered yesterday so I could spent yesterday, today, and tomorrow finishing up all the demo work that needs to be done prior the plumber and electrician doing their thing. SO MUCH FOR THAT! I got super busy with work, picked up a few new clients, and just couldn't get away.

All was not lost though. I did have a new furnace installed on Wednesday, and had a couple of insulation guys come by to do some bids on insulating the exterior walls.

Well maybe next week I'll be able to accomplish something.

This week

Its still slow going, I keep doing small things but nothing much has changed since my last post. My contractor did get in last week and put in the basement stairs, they look great.

I started taking out the kitchen cabinets. I held off on doing this because I wanted to try and find someone who may want to salvage them, it was my futile attempt at being "green". I found a guy who came out he ended up only taking a portion of the kitchen cabinets, along with the cabinets in the pantry. He didn't take as much as I was hoping but I was at least able to recycle some of it. The rest will be torn out later this week. We also took down the cabinets in the bathroom, he was hoping to take them but once we got them out and downstairs he decided against it.

I'll be getting another dumpster later in the week so I can finish all of the demo work. Once I've done this the plumbing and electrical work can be taken care of.

slowly making progress

Not much happening around the house the last few days. Most of the work being performed by my contractor, Adam Dady of Dady Construction, is done. All thats left for him to do is put in basement stairs, should be done this week sometime. Haven't done much more as far as demo work goes either. Had an electrician come by yesterday, he gave me some motivation I've been lacking the last few weeks. He also gave me a bit of direction, I think I was spinning my tires a bit trying to figure out my next move. Here's a link to some more of the demo thats been completed as well as the work Adam has completed.

And by the way the lovely rat has been dealt with. A special thanks to my mother for holding the bag as I removed the critter from the toilet.
