The Job List

Prior to moving in we need to accomplish the following in four weeks.
  1. Re-key all the locks.
  2. Brand new air conditioning system. We are working on quotes for a high efficiency system. Currently there are tax credits of up to $1,500 and many manufacturer rebates for installing a brand new 15 SEER or above rated system. This will be one of our first projects to get done so we can work on the interior comfortably in the August heat.
  3. re insulate the attic.
  4. Upgrade electrical system to 200 AMP service with master surge suppressor installed.
  5. Demolish the DIY shelves in the living room and set of drawers in the office. Take out the shelves in the master bedroom closet in preparation of carpeting and installation of a closet system.
  6. Demolish the existing garage bathroom, un-ducted laundry room, AC closet and garage shelves to restore the garage to its original size.
  7. Remove and rewire phone lines, Ethernet drops, DirecTV wires.
  8. Remove existing builder grade tile in the foyer, family room, kitchen and hallways.
  9. Repair any nicks and dings in the walls, resurface the walls with an orange peel finish.
  10. Cover up the paneling in the family room with 1/4" drywall, orange peel surface, prime and paint.
