Gutted The House, In What Order Should The Fix Ups Go?
I gutted a house tonite in 2 hours. Not bad. Needs interior paint, carpet , linoleum, kitchen and bath cabinets and counters, toilets, all faucets, and a couple of drywall patches. What is the best order to do these things?

C'mon Paul... tear all the rock out too, make it a real gutting. Just kidding. Heres the way I do it:
1)drywall (& texture if any)
2)mask off whatever doesn't get paint, which shouldn't be much at this point, and spray everything (WEAR A GOOD RESPIRATOR!!!)
3) Cabinets (some like to put cabinets on top of the flooring in kitchens and bathroom, I've done it both ways.)
4) kitchen & bath flooring
5) Cabinets(if sitting on top of flooring), countertop, all fixtures (toilets, sinks, sockets, switches, coverplates, lights.
6) Carpet
7) Baseboard- You can hang baseboard before the carpet goes in but most carpet installers I've dealt with don't like it.
I do everything except installing carpet or large areas of linoleum.
Hope this helps,
Aaron
