The challenge of timing

So Gabriel's red oak floors needed to sit unfinished for about 5 days so they can acclimate (expand/contract)
to the weather. Peter still needed about 3 days to get all tile work done. I was hoping to get the trim crew in to do all the trimwork. Then it'd be a race between getting painting done or floors finished.

Well, Peter came back and tiled the shower curb (Wendy doesn't care if there's a 2nd bathtub in the house) and laid the floor tile on Wednesday. That made room for the trim guys to come in and trim out the bathroom whenever. Fortunately, Tony scheduled them to come hang all the doors and trim it out on Thursday. That meant I needed to find/get all the doors, pocket and bi-fold door jambs, and make sure all the trim was delivered. Made it all happen (except wrong floor trim was delivered and I didn't catch
the mistake until it was installed).

While all the flooring and tile fun was going on I recruited Wendy to help me replace all of our downstairs windows with new double-hungs that were operational (not painted shut) and more energy efficient. Of course we had high efficiency with our storm windows I installed about 10 years ago. But we couldn't clean the windows due to this and we were constantly looking through a haze. Off the shelf windows were 1/4 inch too wide for our existing frames. I decided to try and sand/trim frames to make them fit. It was no fun and very tiring but we got them all done while the kids were at camp. Key was to get them done before house painting began. Last thing I want to do is get on a ladder and deal more with these windows than I already have. That's how we took advantage of our "honeymoon time".
