Unpack the stuff you will use on a daily basis and live out of boxes otherwise.

Although if you're going to paint the ceiling, do that now. It's the worst part of the job and the less you have already in place the better. Personally, I'd paint now and plan to touch up after because that would shorten my time between counter install and functional kitchen, but that's me.

No, just painting cabinets.

I'm now going to accept this as a blessing in disguise at it significantly simplifies our time management crunch over the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, I'm considering it. Don't know if I want to take the doors of the hinges twice though.

Actually the biggest problem is going to be the 11 days in between during which we will not have a kitchen counter/sink/dishwasher. Should still be able to use the stove though.

What, you haven't been obsessively refreshing my livejournal for updates? I'm insulted.

Quick updates: The bathroom is painted. It's not purple anymore. Now it's...dark. Very dark. But we've decided we're okay with that. The color is beautiful and definitely not your ordinary white or blue bathroom. But while we've confirmed that it matches the paint chip, it really seems sooo much darker than anticipated on the wall. But we're digging it and may just look at getting a better light fixture to compensate.

Bedroom is primed after a loooong evening yesterday. Bedrooms are big, lots to do. Tonight's session of putting color on the walls should go faster as CP has the afternoon off to prep, plus it's JUST the walls, no trim/doors/window sills/closet doors.

The nice thing is, looking at my two week schedule above, we're right on target for week one, while everything in week two has been delayed due to things beyond our control. That's a bit frustrating, but it does mean that we have some time to relax and to finish packing the old place.

Well, I'd just unpack a couple items to get you through the next couple weeks. Or live off paper plates for a bit

I think we've been living off paper plates for about 4 1/2 years now
