So here we are, the 23rd day. We got through the paint issues and can move on. As with all paint in order to match it, it's normal just to take a sample of the cleanest old paint from a trim piece (or something) and have the paint store match that. Pretty simple. Lesson learned (re-learned).The guy who did the painting did a really good job at painting. Not a single run, drip or mess. The ceiling and walls have that fresh coat of paint, it has been sealed with primer coats and is 100% far out nice. There is extra paint so we can do the sections of the room that were not in the contract (although the painter finished up one of the walls - don't tell the boss).
While the paint was drying, some of the base cabinets have now been un-boxed, and staged in the approximate locations. The pantry was also un-boxed and staged in the location of the old pantry, just like we wanted. The actual installation will need some carpentry to build up bases to which the cabinets will rest on top. This is a skilled process. Many parts arrived, various trim pieces, doors. It's essential that these parts are used where they have been designed in.
On of the good things about this stage is that the nasty ram board can get removed and recycled. The major dust event is done.
