Yesterday we got our first piece of mail. THANK YOU Andrea and Maria!!!
Today we were able to get all of the walls primed and one coat on the closets.
Month: December 2011
BAM
Between yesterday and today we were able to finish sanding the floors and priming the ceiling. I tiled the bathroom floor(thanks to Bill and Andy for letting me borrow their tile saw). Now the place will start to come together quickly.
Moving Along
Gabriel, our skim-coat guy, and his crew banged out the whole house today. It makes the house look so much better. Now we can finish the bedroom floors and get ready to paint.
Sheetrock done
So at HD yesterday morning we realized the 7.5″ grinder and several masonry blades could get the floors where we want them. The hardest part of the process was removing the left over material from the linoleum. After spending all day on our knees, we finished the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and the hall.
I managed to slice into my knee with about a one foot square of floor left, so Greg had to finish. I’m fine and there wasn’t much carnage, but the cut being on my knee is a problem for walking and bending. Lesson learned.
Today the electricians finished moving lightswitches and wiring the new cable, while Greg sheetrocked the rest of the closet and made all the small patches throughout the house.
More pictures soon!
Grinding fail
Well the grinder/sander we rented was no match for the floors. It’s off to Home depot for another solution.
Probably will end up painting the floors white once we get them to a surface texture we like.
Trial and errors.
Finally
Today we finally got the house, it has been a trying 4 months. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and kind words.
The electrician came and started moving lights and adding them. Gabriel and crew showed up and began properly scrapping the ceiling. We found out that we needed to scrape more or the skim-coat would bubble and look really bad.
Greg and I did some insulating and dry-wall work in the kitchen and in my closet.
