The reno had some schedule setbacks largely related to a sales arrangement/change requests so now the push is back on.  Once momentum falters on these projects it can be hard to get moving again. A concrete contractor, hired against my better judgement,  bungled the prep work big time and got sent away to hopefully experience some shame at their ineptitude. Somehow that wasted a couple weeks. The replacement crew (who we knew is good) came in and is doing a fantastic and fast job (at 2x the price of course).  

Drywall taping, sanding and ceiling texture is done. The basement looks like a new build, at this point it basically is with new plumbing, framing, electrical, windows, insulation and drywall. next up is the cabinetry and finishing work.  That will be quick too and we can get to paint, and framing the garage. 

Drywall and taping is done  

Massive progress on the garage with Footings and a wall being poured.
