Day 19

We have survived several nights of fumes.  Let's all hope for no black lung disease, shall we? 




The first coat of stain is done and the final will be done after the cabinets are in, but I'm thinking of asking for postponement until spring when we can leave windows open.  I read that there should be an air exchange twice an hour to quickly dissipate the fumes, but that's not easy to do in 20 degree weather.  Not to mention the air outside isn't much better right now.  We had a bit of a misunderstanding with the flooring guy, but I think all is okay now.  This can not be the first time these guys dealt with a neurotic homeowner.  I say grow a set.  Anyway, the floors aren't finished, but are looking pretty good.  Not quite as rustic in real life as they seem in the photos. 

Schedule this week:  finish work on trim (maybe painting by BW) and cabinets on Friday.  Nick and I head to Los Angeles for a baseball camp on Friday night so I hope they are almost done before we leave.  Then countertop template on 12/19 and install on 12/26.  Moving right along.
