Lots Done
It was an eventful day. The floor is done!!! After a 2.5 week delay due to the appendix, it’s finally done. I also got the baseboards painted, but it was the wrong color. I sent Sandy to the paint store to pick up paint and got the wrong paint, so $80 down the drain and…

Main Floor Laid
So the floor is laid except for the last row and closet. I’ve been thinking about it and I’m having to remove the frame around the doors and closet but it doesn’t seem to be that hard. I also need to get the table saw out of the shed. And out of the box now…

More Floor
We’re about 66% with the floor, probably a little more but the hard part of cutting it in is coming up so we’ll see how that goes. Also started a docker course to finally get to the next level with that. And it looks like I have a seasonal gig that should end by the…

Flooring Started
The floor is going down. I got 3 of 8 boxes down. As this is my first attempt at this snap together flooring, I have to say I’m pretty impressed. You basically hammer it together and it’s free floating. It’s taking me a bit of time because the saw is in the garage but I…

Front End Alignment Complete

And Then There Was Paint
While painting ranks up there with plumbing as things that I would just rather not do. Painting isn’t actually that bad but the amount of prep work that you have to do in order to get to the painting is friggin ridiculous. Clear > patch > repair > re-texture > wash down > tape and…

Prepping In Process
I used the rest of the joint compound that I had to finish up the last un-textured part of the wall, then we took the TV off the wall and found another spot. So I could go to Ace and get the joint compound for $5.99 or drive all the way to Lowe’s to get…

Crowsfeet Not On My Face
So the holdup on progress has been how to match the texture of the as is. Well it seems that there’s a crows feet brush and it seemed to work well. It’s drying now and hopefully holds well when it gets painted. On another note, the Xterra is riding like a brick. I ordered $500…

Drywall Cut & Placed
While it still wasn’t easy, the oscillating tool made short work of getting the piece to replace the ironing board. Also is a picture of the before of the under sill, its scary…
