Current State of Chaos

I know, I Know....
Its been a very long time since I have posted...
Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting the final projects for the upper unit.
We have not been doing a whole lot work over the last few months... but now the push is on.
Since the last post we have done the following:
Finished installing the cabinets
Finished installing the trim in the hall and got it patched and painted
Had granit counters installed which basically finished our kitchen
We repainted the kitchen because the color we picked did not work with our counters
We finished the attic storage



On October 17th Alec, my parents, and I will be going to Vietnam to meet up with Evan and Jessica - http://tidbits-from-thailand.blogspot.com/ - for two weeks. My goal is to be 100% done with the upper unit by the time we go... and this is what we have left to do:

Paint Living Room
Finish baseboard trim
Paint all trim
Patch and paint fireplace mantel
Install cabinet trim
Finish Plumbing for Washer Dryer
Buy Washer Dryer and install
Finish the central heating
Finishing microwave exhaust
Finish electrical in pantry

Now for the "Current State of Chaos"
This last weekend we had our Floors installed in the kitchen and living room.
3 months later, and discovering we we given the wrong sub floor to install, and wasting another week getting it fixed we finally got it together to get the floors done.
Fist off we had to move everything out the kitchen and living room, and considering the size of the rest of the house.... its a tight fit.
