Looks good! Cabinets make a difference!
Nicely done. I like the sink; wish my laundry room had enough space for a sink.

My wife was not overly thrilled that I elected to do that over some other projects that she has been requesting, but I think that adds more value than a few of the others. I suppose I'll be working on some of the other requests now....
The laundry room is upstairs (something about people in GA love having the laundry room upstairs....) and right next to another living area. As the kids get older, I figure it makes sense to have a more functional laundry room and somewhere to wash hands that isn't a bathroom.

Yeah, have to make sure the project sprints keep the end users happy. Otherwise they revolt and nothing makes them happy.
Awesome news!! Big props for surviving this far.
I'm barely hanging on
Hood vent and tile backsplash is in!
I replaced all of the air filters in the house. They were caked over with dust. I also installed all of the door levers today.
My mom has been cleaning the house (she loves cleaning).
I got the master vanity in. I've got to drill the holes for the sink faucet and install the backsplash.
The USB/power strip works!
And I got a hundred other little items done today.

Those list punch lists seem to take the longest on projects.
Yep, the last 20% takes 80% of the time.
I got a bunch of shit caulked and drilled out 6 holes in three sinks for the faucets my wife wanted.
Unfortunately I'm going to make my painter come back to sand and re-paint all of my trim. The paint job they did on my trim is among the worst I've ever seen. Absolutely unacceptable with the amount of paint runs, over spray, areas that needed to be sanded and on a lot of trim it only has one coat of paint. So 1 step forward and three steps back sadly.

But doing it right is worth it in the long run. I wish I knew back then what I know now. My house would have had a few small but important details fixed before I moved in.
Yep, I told my painter that I know my house isn't the Taj Mahal but the amount of mistakes, fuck-ups and just general "don't give a shit, it's not my house" work is unacceptable.

Lack of maintenance but me in the ass as usual. After making it through the night with the thermostat set on 70 and it never getting below 77 in the house, I got up at 6 and went outside to clean my condenser coils. Fuck they were nasty. One of those things that kept getting out-prioritized by other stuff because “it’s a new unit”. So after a deep clean, the AC is cooling like it should again. We’ll see how it holds up this afternoon when we get up near triple digits.

Yeah just easy to miss because I never go on that side of the house for anything.
