This was a pretty quiet week for the crews as they just did some touch up work on the kitchen. The exciting bit was having the guy come in to make templates for our counter tops. Hopefully the kitchen will be finished in a week or so!
While the guys were away, we got busy. I laid some more flooring and we finally got the den painted. So the only big painting that's left is to redo the bedroom since Christine really doesn't like the colour we chose.
Unfortunately, the kitchen crew pointed out that we were about to run into a problem. Before the walls were drywalled, we decided to relocate the pot filler more to the center of the stove, and to bring it up a bit to allow for some taller pots. What we hadn't realized was that the pot filler rises about 6" from the point where the pipe comes out of the wall. As things sat, we could either install the pot filler or the range hood, but not both.
So there was only one thing to do - open up the wall and move the rough-in for the pot filler down 4". Since we'd moved the rough-in, I decided to do the fix myself - it turned out to be surprisingly easy. (In any case, the look on Emma's face when I asked her to help me put "mud" on the walls made it all worthwhile.)
