So once the big issue was fixed last week - the team really got moving and got a lot done, despite the short week.
In the kitchen - the floor went down after spending the weekend acclimating. We ended up going with an unfinished white oak so that it's the same species as the rest of the first floor. I will just finish it later, once there's room. They quickly covered it up to protect it, and then the cabinets arrived. On Wednesday and Friday they were able to get almost all of the base cabinets installed, so that the countertop people can template today. We had a couple issues - and thankfully I had the day off and was there to help - firstly, the floor isn't even (shockingly), so they had to build up bases to level them all off. Secondly - the corner cabinets couldn't be opened without hitting each other, so they ended up having to cut down the massive pantry cabinet so that the door next to it can be opened. The real news is that they hooked the stove back up - so we can cook again. This is a huge improvement - since we had been grilling outside and it has gotten cold and dark.

countertop selection made - should be bright and white and sparkly!
The big action was all downstairs, but there was some progress upstairs too. They worked on floor and window trim, and hooked up the new vanity. Since I was home on Wednesday, I painted the bedroom - so one room is starting to look finished. I still have lots more painting to do though.
