Mintwood St

• Finish Work
  • Installed the laundry bi fold doors.
  • Sourced the front and rear entry doors. There’s a local company in the strip district that makes exterior doors. We’re waiting on one confirmation bid from Andersen / HD , but likely to go with the local guys.
  • Started tiling the master shower. Originally I was going to outsource this, but the leads I had for guys to do this weren’t great, and I can knock it out this week, so that’s the route we’re going.
    
• Painting:
  • Ceiling painting in master suite is completed. Other painting there is on pause while I tile the master shower. Kath also got the ceiling painted in the kitchen this weekend.
  • Painters started working on the doors on 3rd floor.
    
• Design: Design board is available here, though we made some slight changes after this board was produced.

Pearl St.

• The critical plumbing part has arrived, and the plumber is scheduled for June 15.
  We had our finish plumbing inspection, but did not pass. There are 4 updates to make. They aren’t difficult items, but need to be done before we can pass inspection.
  • Install double check valve at water meter.
  • Remove spigot near water meter.
  • Install expansion tank on HW heater.
  • Install backflow preventer on outside hose bib.
• No work on the walls this week. Painter stopped by to look at the flaking problems we’ve had. It appears that the oldest layers of paint are splitting off from the wall. (The newest latex paint is adhered to a couple of layers beneath, and they’re coming off in a group). So I’ll need to skim it up with setting plaster and then repaint.
• Roofing inspection has not been closed out. I called Mark Webb (again) to chase, but still hasn’t been done.
• It also turns out that the electrical permit has never been closed, even through the final was done on Feb 17. I’ll need to contact the inspector to get them to do the paperwork.

Duncan St.

I reviewed Duncan St and there’s a fairly lengthy punch list remaining there. Some of it is stuff I can hand off, and some is work I will have to do myself. I’ll hand off what I can, but the remaining work is being prioritized after Mintwood.

• Electrical: {no change from 21 March} The rough-in electrical inspection was completed on Wednesday, March 16. We are now good to hang drywall.
• Framing/ drywall: All compound and sanding work is complete.
• Kitchen: <no change>
• Bathroom: Flooring installed. Tile work was finished on Thursday. I don’t yet know if they grouted on Friday.
• Plumbing: Rough inspection passed on 7 March 2022
• Painting: Painting started on Thursday.
