new schedule hiccups

ok... more schedule changes - what else is new? looks like now we won't have Kenichi install the cabinets until next week. Fortunately that should be OK. he's been pretty backed up with having to go to Japan last month and also getting the flu. we'll still be able to have the granite counter template made and approved before we move in, which means that if timing is good, we'll have the counter installed our first week of living in the house.
Not too bad, i think.

We should still be able to complete the bathroom and painting on time. I also believe we'll get the electrical and plumbing done in time. Plus we should also have the deck installed by this time so we can get into the house! At least from the backyard, or what will be the backyard.

The tricky thing now, for me at least, is getting the flooring done at the right time. As I'm writing, supposedly the hardwood floors were sanded and the bamboo floors (master BR, family and study) were installed.

However, the staining & sealing of the hardwood floors will still take about 2 days to complete. TJC flooring told me they really would like the HVAC in place so they can run the heat all day & night when they stain the floor. This ensures the newly-wet wood won't buckle due to the temperature fluctuations. So we can't do it right now. I may be able to jury-rig the HVAC with electrical so that at least we can do the floors later this week.

But I think that even if we got the floors done after the cabinets, we can still get the interior of the house 95% done in time for when Julie and I move in. Keep praying for good timing!
