Rehab week in review

Well, the first official week is done in the new flip house.
What was accomplished:
- Furnace fixed
- water turned on (although not running through the house yet)
- evaluated and made a list of what needs to be done
- driveway shoveled (twice!!), with a big storm expected again this weekend.....
- Worked on basement cleanout
- Picked out granite tile for the counter tops
- Removed wallpaper downstairs
- patched all the walls
- started painting

Painting is going pretty quickly. There is very little trim to paint, since all the trim downstairs is a nice wood. There is a section of the kitchen I am not painting until the work on the pipes happens next week.

I found the most beautiful granite tile. It's called St Cecelia and it has beautiful wine colored accents in it. This will play off the door color really well. I am going to tile with a metal channel, and mosiac backsplash. It's going to look really sharp (I hope!). It will take 10 days or so for the tiles to arrive.


Goals for next week:
- shoveling for sure LOL
- Remove counter tops
- finish painting downstairs
- replace light fixtures
- fix closet doors
- start painting upstairs
