Spencer put together a timeline for us today for pretty much everything that is left to do on the house. Very exciting to see it put down on paper! Here’s what we’re looking at:
Jan.8th- Finish Insulating/ Vapour Barrier/ Installation of Lintels
Jan.8- 9th- Inpection for above
Jan.16th- Finish hanging drywall
Jan.17- 31st- Tape Drywall/ prime it/ put on first coat of paint
Feb.4- 8th- Install and refinish Hardwood Floors
Feb. 11th- Baseboards are put on
Feb.16th- Windows are ready for installation
Feb. 18- 20th- Window Casings are put on
Feb. 20- 22nd- Final coat of paint
Feb. 25th- ready for Kitchen Installation (the countertops and tiling happen after the Kitchen Cabinetry is installed)
If all goes well we’ll be looking at mid March finish date!

My finacee and I are also tackling a entire home reno - and came across your site while I was searching for contractors. Could you please point me towards a plumber (to essenatially install a new 14×8′ bathroom on the second floor) as well as a drywaller to do new drywall and patching. We too have a early 1900’s house with lath and plaster - and have combination walls throughout.

We have them listed on our resource page. Darren Hamar is our painter/ drywaller and Cordell Mechanical is our plumber. Both are great. We’d love to see your before and after pictures! If you’d like to share them please send them to us at 247reno@gmail.com and we’ll post them on the blog.

This site is super! How long should the drywall hang before we start taping … before we start mudding … to obtain maximum finish results? We are in a very humid environment!

Hi Esther,
Fortunately we have a fabulous contractor who has taken care of all of those details for us this time around. You probably should consult someone but we believe that it’s the length of time that the mud takes to dry that’s a concern. You can start taping fairly soon after you hang the drywall.
