Not really long as in longer than 2 days but long as in it felt very long.  We got an early start Friday, hitting the road at 5pm and getting to the house by 8!  I put the munchkin to bed and Ryan got started grouting the master bathroom!  I cleaned paint off the master bedroom windows while he started and then by the time he was onto the floor I could help (not much help in the shower).  We were up until 1am but got the entire bathroom grouted!

Grouted shower!

On Saturday we couldn’t walk in the bathroom until after about 3pm so Ryan worked on various other projects throughout the house.  He put up some trim in the tvroom closet (door and a piece of baseboard) and he put the trim up around the top of our columns in the livingroom – they look great!

Caps on the columns

Now that the master bathroom is done we had our neighbor hang the last piece of sheetrock and start taping/mudding the last section of the house!

Our painter had worked a bit during the week and worked all weekend again, trim is almost done, he’s coming again once this week and a bit next weekend and it should be done (what’s up already) – and if he has time we’ll add a bit more to his load after this weekend.

The stairway has paint now – looks great

I was pretty distracted with a toddler most of the weekend and never took pictures after this point (some time saturday afternoon) so the rest is choppy.

During naptime and kid free time I got the build-in drawers (tvroom) sanded and shellac’d so those can be installed (this is the 5 that weren’t in out of 10 total).   I worked on the doorbell finally but may need a new button on the front to get it working.  I got the back porch light installed and the back bedroom closet light wired up (needs a fixture but works as a light now).

Ryan worked on installing trim on the back porch using what scraps we have left once he finished all the trim in the master bathroom (3 windows, 1 door and baseboards) between Saturday and Sunday.  Aside from one piece of cap molding in the master bathroom the upstairs trim is finished.  The only trim really missing is the front hallway closet (inside) and some small baseboard in the back porch which Ryan will finish up next weekend.  Ryan also got the little porch off the master ready for a new ceiling (added some strapping) and cleaned it up – it looks really nice.  Once the ceiling is in and everything gets a coat of paint that porch will look great.

We stayed until 5:30 on Sunday, I got the last of the fragile kitchen stuff packed up while Ryan did a final cleaning of the bathroom tile with cheese cloth and we headed out with a truck load of stuff.  Next weekend is the last weekend I’ll go out, the plan is to go kid free if we can and make the most of it.  Then the following weekend Ryan will take a 3 day weekend and hopefully my dad can go out and they can do the upstairs floors – then the house is on the market.  So close it’s unbelievable really.
