Project Home Renovation

[Ryan T]

More progress. It's a bit slower than I was hoping but the best we could do. I got the 24 hour stomach bug last monday...and ignored it to get work done. Got the back bedroom floored and some of the furniture moved in. By Wednesday night I was so dehydrated I could barely stand. I was so sick thursday I could barely get off the couch. Friday and Saturday it was all I could do to move the furniture without passing out. We broke out the 16' steel tractor trailer to move and it made quick work of our stuff. After we got moved we started pulling out the old cabinets and setting the new ones up. Once they are all in place we can start laying tile in the kitchen. Bathrooms and kitchen should be done by the end of the week.



We had some options with the flooring as far as doing thresholds at each door but we decided to go with the seamless look. It was a bit more work forcing us to strip thinner pieces all the way up both hallways and the front walls of rooms, but I think it was well worth it for the look.



Living Room is done:



Master bedroom. Slight moving accident caused the hinge on the door to snap. It's antique furniture and each door is about 15lbs so it didn't take much force to snap it



Cabinets coming out. Whoever put those cabinets up in the bellbottom days decided that it would be funny to nail all of them in place rather than screw them which means the primary removal tool is a crowbar and not a drill. Sucks.



Most of the new lower cabinets in and backerboard screwed down for the tile



Tentative first tile in place
