The List (updated)

So, like most lists, I'm expecting this one to get longer before it gets shorter. Last night as Matt and I were out there I realized that "install handrail" is not on The List and really ought to be. So onto The List it goes.

Last night Matt and I got 90% of the underlayment for the wood floor in Barb's bedroom put down. We also chalked lines for where the joist are underneath, because we can't afford to stick nails in the wrong spot and risk puncturing our radiant tubing! That would be a mess when we turned the heat on this fall. ;) But that doesn't get anything crossed off, since it's only a subset of item #4.

- final coat of sealer on concrete (happening at the end of this week) 
- lay rosin paper over basement floor (for delivery of trim)
- varnish trim (will be delivered, mostly already cut into the right width strips, next Tuesday)
- install one more door and hardware upstairs (Matt and I should get that done this week)
- install wood floors on upper level and...
-  ...down stairs to main level
Today Matt and Owen made two trips to Matt's mom's house to bring the boxes of wood flooring from her basement where we've kept them for the last 9 months or so over here to the addition. They're supposed to sit and "temper" to their space for 72 hours before installation, which means that it will all be here and ready when my parents come on Thursday! This isn't a specific line item, but it's a necessary precursor, and one more thing accomplished.
- install trim on windows, doors, base and down the stairs
- install trim in laundry room
- hang laundry room pocket door (maybe not necessary before move-in)
- install bathroom sink
- install sink hardware
- install toilet
- install bathtub hardware
- caulk the bathtub
- build bathroom shelves
- install bathroom mirror (which, as Matt's pointing out, is more like design/buy/build/install bathroom mirror)
- install closet rod
- build doors for the low closet (Maybe. We may just hang fabric on a tension rod.)
- remove window and...
- ...finish opening between old and new
- install laundry sink
- install washer and dryer
- install handrail
