Not yet. Progress up to this point is cabinet removal, wall/drywall removal, and most of the floor removal. Taking up all the slate took up almost a whole day and I suspect the wood comes up in 2 hours.
We are also on our 3rd plumber and 2nd HVAC company because the GC didnt like what he was getting from the first round of subs. I'm glad this is not my circus to deal with. In theory, plumbing (moving sink lines/drain) and HVAC (moving a return duct into the chimney framing) should be happening this week and next week should be electrical (installing LED can lights, moving switches and outlets) and drywall/painting.
We have a few decisions left to make and we're hoping to nail them down this week and be done with making decisions and spending money.
For the desk, be careful with pocket screws. They dont create a very rigid joint so if you are trying to construct something the same way you would with dados, rabbets, etc, you will not have a strong structure.
