Sequence of Things

The sequence of remodeling activities seems to be intuitive mostly. But some of them deserve a bit more attention:

- Paint wall and ceiling in kitchen before cabinet install (Also make sure subloor is clean and flat before cabinets install. Cabinets, just like furniture, go in last!)
- Nail down drywall inside before putting up stucco wall outside (nailing will crack the stucco).
- Install wall and floor tiles before plumbing fixtures (such as toilet, shower head) in bathrooms, and dishwasher in kitchen (need enough vertical space for dishwasher to go in and come out for maintenance).
- Paint inside wall before carpet or wood floor install.
- Install carpet or wood floor before baseboard moulding install.
