Three Days To GO TIME!

I can't believe after all this waiting (over 3 months of escrow and a life time of dreaming) the day is almost upon us! Monday 6/30, after 5pm, we should have the keys in hand!!!!! The crew is ready to start demo work on Tuesday 7/1. Actual framing work will need to wait until the permits are approved. As of today, our permit approvals look like this:

Get it in gear Structure, Fire, Engineering, and Planning!!!

Approvals aside, Michael and I will still be starting work on the apartment bathroom Tuesday. I have ordered the floor tiles from Home Depot (they are only available online) and they are set to be delivered between July 7th- July 9th. This gives us a few days (excluding a quick jaunt to Vegas for the 4th) to get the bathroom prepped for tile. The shower tiles are available in store, so we can also get that started as soon as we are ready.

This is the tile we ordered for the Apt. bathroom

 

This is a picture from a user review online, using the same tile.
Bad quality photo, but it helped me get an idea of what it looks like installed.
I had read that it was lighter in person. I really think it is going to look sharp!!

Here are some upcoming dates:

July 1st - Demo starts, 1st glass company coming out to provide a quote
July 2nd - 2nd glass installer coming out to provide quote. Hardwood floor guy coming out to provide quote on wood type, installation, and herringbone costs.

July 1st - 7th - Kitchen designer will also come out to confirm that his plans will look right in the space. He did the concept drawings off the architect drawings. New counters for apartment kitchen will be ordered.

Hopefully you are all caught up with your reading of the past posts, because things are about to get real exciting in The House of Leo. I am going to start posting more frequently (hopefully every other day) just to keep you all updated with the progress.

I am going to spend this weekend enjoying the calm before the storm!
