on bathrooms and kitchens

We're in the final stages of doing work on the house. We're either going to rent or sell it, so the bathroom and kitchen need to fixed since, the bathroom in particular, was looking somewhat ghetto.

Bathroom:
The old plastic tile (pink) has been stripped off the walls and one of the walls was completely torn out down to the studs. The wallpaper has been stripped off the walls and ceiling.
New sheetrock is up on the exposed wall and on one of the walls where the adhesive from the tile wouldn't come off.
On the other two walls with adhesive, we're going to plaster over the stuff.
Next week, the tile guy comes to tile the shower surround.
Meanwhile I will be painting the nice new clean walls and ceiling.
Then new flooring goes down (probably linoleum), then new molding.
And we'll have the tub re-finished (too much of a pain and expensive to replace the tub. plus, it's less stuff in the landfill.

Kitchen:
Old wallpaper and paint off the walls.
Area of water damage to be repaired (by the same guy doing the sheetrocking and plastering in the kitchen, real nice and very good at what he does.)
then paint the old metal cabinets and the walls.
And put down new flooring (lineoleum)

And this is all going to happen in the next month. Ha!
