Week 30 Thursday

October 30 2014

The rest of my cabinets were supposed to be here today.  When I didn't hear anything I contacted the cabinet shop and it seems they did not make it on the truck.  They will not be here until next Wednesday, bummer.  I hope I can get the ones I need installed in time for the stone measure on the 30th.

Checked and rechecked all the measurements for the doors now that the concrete is finished.  A little bit of variance that needs to be taken into consideration.  These doors have very little tolerance 1/8" on the top and 1/4" on the bottom.  Really want to make sure that the ones in the entry are tight so that they look like a paneled wall.  Had to order some extra hardware and wow it is expensive.  The hardware almost costs as much as the doors.  Hafele, the best, but not the cheapest.  Made in Germany.

There are no baseboards so every wall in the place needs to be tight to the wall.  One of the works applying mud.  This will have to be sanded and reapplied several times.  Like I said modern does not necessary mean simple.

Wong getting the guest bathroom ready for tile and marble.  

Concrete sub will be here tomorrow to finish up the bathroom floors and get ready for the stone installs hopefully next week.

Stay tuned and watch the transformation.  If you want a hint of it's future look at my Pinterest posts.  http://www.pinterest.com/jdzinesf/hyde-street-penthouse/
