Discussion with contractor
How can we complete Phase 1 and move in as soon as possible, then do the windows and exterior doors in Phase 2 without doing the same work twice?
For example, if we finish the drywall returns around the existing windows and fully paint the walls now, replacing the windows later could mean redoing those returns and repainting the walls. We want to avoid paying for that work twice.
Would it make more sense to leave those areas primed only, or apply the first coat of paint and leave the second coat until after the new windows are installed? How much of the drywall work around the openings should wait?
The same question applies to the exterior doors, which we will also replace in Phase 2. We’d like to work out what can be finished for move-in and what should wait.
Phase 2 — Design in progress
Kitchen
Kitchen planning is still in progress. Elevations are expected to be finalized soon. These are the current design options; no option is finalized.
Phase 1: kitchen demolition and flooring. Phase 2: kitchen build-out, lighting, final drywall and paint.
