We saw our contractor and one of his workers three days ago and made an itemized list of exactly what order the remaining renovation tasks have to be done in.

We decided the floor was (somewhat unusually) next because the dishwasher and stove have to be on top of the floating floor which doesn't go under the cabinets. So Wax and I then put in our lovely black-and-white checkered linoleum click tile floor. We finished it Wednesday, and yesterday we primed the remaining kitchen walls and did a lot of cleaning and started moving our stuff over there - the stuff that we don't need to use in the next couple of weeks and which we can fit in the centers of the rooms over there, that is, so that the electricians will still be able to go around the edges to do the wiring.

Now the carpenter dude is here to start installing the counters and tiling the backsplash. (!!!)

Wax and I have to clear out the room we're sitting in right now by... I forget when... so that our tenant can move in some of her stuff in advance of her main moving day, but we're going to work on that while he's here and then wallpaper and paint in the kitchen after he leaves this evening.
