Once I took the photos for our refi, it was clear how close we are to renting the last apartment in our Union Hill triplex. It is now May 1 – four years after starting this renovation. Our goal is to have it listed and move-in ready on June 1. Here is our punch list to meet that goal:
- Back bedroom closet: cover exposed pipes with drywall, trim door, trim window, install crown and baseboards, paint
- Laundry: tile floor, install baseboards (needed?), install washer and dryer
- Kitchen: install cabinets next to refrigerator and across from stove; cut and install butcher block counter
- Bathroom: touch up vanity, install shower handle (could be more involved than I expect)
- Closets: install clothing rods
- Electrical: electrician to look at outlets in bedroom and kitchen
- Kitchen: test appliances (we missed this last time… a costly mistake)
- Paint all baseboards and window/door trim
- Clean
- Hang curtains and add rugs
I think that’s it? I’ll be honest, it’s a little overwhelming documenting that because there is still a LOT to do. But it’s doable… better book the babysitter now!
