Installation Day 3 and 4.

Day 3 — Saturday

Same China carpentry order as the recent remodel — after arrival and Day One. Saturday, so they could not do much. Short check-in.

The scaffold I already bought

Study high cubbies needed height. Another installer (not this team) had quoted $500 to rent scaffolding.

These installers asked me to rent one. I said I already bought one — on Taobao, still in a box. Here's the link — take it if you want the same one. Under $200. Or rent it from me. They used it. Silver mobile scaffold, red wheels — right there in front of the high study cubbies.

Study high light-wood cubbies with silver mobile scaffold on red wheels; white holey protective wrap still on floor and surfaces — Study high cubbies — my Taobao scaffold in use. Holey white surface is wrap still on, not pegboard.

That board is a pallet

Second shot by the door (smart lock in frame). Easy to misread the holes — it is not pegboard and not protective wrap on carpentry. It is a pallet. Wires coiled at the cutout.

TV feature wall

The TV feature wall — Day One it was waiting on a light point for the LED driver. Carcasses going up now. Aluminum A-frame ladder with blue steps, floor protection still down. Saturday pace.

Day 4 — Monday

They are mostly on the kitchen. Entrance shoe cabinet and nearby storage have doors on — interior still empty, shoe rack not in yet. TV feature wall and study have not moved much.

Kitchen

This is where they spent the day. Upper and base carcasses up. One box still sitting on the floor. Tools all over the base units. Some progress — not done.
