Today, I played foreman mostly and finally fixed the plumbing screw-up that prevented the lights to be installed in the kitchen (installed the lights, repaired the second floor... floor). David trimmed out 80% of the doors; cut and nailed. Angie prepped (removed plaster splatter) the door-frames for David and began installing the A/C registers. Paul installed switches - basically all single poles in; only the 3- and 4-way switches to go. Mom played go-fer for a while (Lowes, Dad to airport, kids to pool) and also installed (soldered) 5 of the 16 shut-off valves in the house. Thanks to everyone for the help today.
Tomorrow, more trim installation - I mis-counted the door moulding pretty badly (counted doors, forgot doorways without doors, as well as the three exterior doors) so we need some more; then start on baseboards. Mom will start caulking and finish some of the underlayment installation. Angie/Paul will finish the electrical and A/C chores they're into - before flying home. I'll try to wrap up the plumbing for the time I'm home, but I have a Chinese Drywall Town-Hall meeting I'm planning to attend on Monday, plus Jen is on company travel through Thursday so I'm Mr. Mom this week as well. I'm also traveling for work on Weds, so this will be a strange week.
I've really encouraged by the amount of work that was accomplished this weekend. I think we're on track from a schedule standpoint; I will probably try to take a little more time off work now to get across the finish line too; still have 150 hours of vacation time to burn... since we're not vacationing... this seems like a noble cause...
