It also means that with taping and spackling, the rest of the week (and the entire house) was filled with clouds of fine particulate dust. Breathing that stuff is okay, right? Probably even beneficial?\n\nTuesday {#tuesday}\n\nOn Tuesday, the first piece of cabinetry went in -- our cabinetmaker installed the bookcase that's going next to the stove so I can finally have all those books close at hand (instead of being jammed into big plastic Tupperware tubs like they currently are):\n\n<br />\nIMG_2803\n{ .img-caption }\n\n<br />\nKath inspects the bookcase.\n{ .img-caption }\n\nRest of the Week {#rest-of-the-week}\n\nWe've asked the contractors to prioritize getting the kids' bathroom completed (or at least usable) since we'll quickly be a household of four humans again when the semester ends. The floor tile is now completely down and will be grouted this week:\n\n<br />\nIMG_2817\n{ .img-caption }\n\n<br />\nIMG_2823\n{ .img-caption }\n\n<br />\nIMG_2826\n{ .img-caption }\n\nUpcoming: more bathroom and family room work -- we're all hoping that the family room can be taken close enough to completion that we can start living in it once again and become a little less cramped.\n\nBacklinks: {#backlinks}\n\n- Renovation 2016\n\n<small>View Change History</small>",
