Sunroom Time!
Oh, I've so been waiting for this part! I HATED the wood paneling in the sunroom 🙂 Dad removed the wood paneling last night while we went to Lowes & Home Depot...only to find out that it had drywall underneath it...and it was NOT a good drywall job,...
The Little Things
Are we done yet?? Ha! NOT EVEN CLOSE! At least we're not looking at stud walls with wiring & unfinished plumbing hanging out!! On Wednesday we drove over to STL and went to Lumber Liquidators to pick up the tongue & groove pine for the...
Let the Painting Begin!
Finally I made some decisions and picked up some paint. We've only got one coat on everything...but at least we can see what it's going to look like! Sherwin Williams Sleepy Blue for the Master Bedroom Sherwin Williams Ancient Marble for the Front Bedroom ...
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
I know this has nothing to do with our house....but today we're celebrating my Grandma's 90th Birthday. What an amazing woman she is!! I don't think she really has any idea what she means to all of us! A little (BIG) cake that I made...Sara had to...
Cleaning & Painting
So we worked for the last two days on scraping up and vacuuming the joint compound piles off of the floor and getting it all cleaned up and taped off. Richie & Brian came today to primer & paint and I do think we impressed them with how clean it was :)...
More Finishing
I just can't believe that these guys can work in this heat!! It's soooo dreadful - at least it's not as humid as it usually is here in the midwest! 95 was the temp INSIDE on Friday!! Yuck! So they finished up the drywall finishing on friday... Crazy...it's...
Happy 4th of July!
Can you believe our drywall finishers worked today?? I am IMPRESSED! Look at what a mess the floor is though...ugh...I should have put paper down or something....didn't even think about it! Look, it's the Kitchen!! Dining Room We've continued framing in...
More Framing & Drywall Finishing
Well...the drywall finishing has begun!! I went to RP Lumber today while Kade was at work to get the lumber for framing in the basement. That's about all we can work on while they're working on the drywall upstairs. It's SOOOOO hot here...ugh! ...
HardiBacker
We finally got around to getting the tile backer up today. It's so dark in a bathroom with no windows or electricity, lol. Anyway...we had to have this done for the drywall finisher who's coming in the morning so he can finish around the edges. This stuff...
Just Amazing!
The main floor drywall is DONE! By 10:30 this morning the guys were finished up and outta there! What a RELIEF to have this done. Yes, we could have saved some money by doing it ourselves...but there is no way on earth that we would have had the...
WOW!!!
So today was the HOTTEST day of 2012 so far I'm pretty sure...and doesn't that just make sense? It was day 1 of drywall hanging - and NO AIR CONDITIONING IS ALLOWED WITH ALL THE DRYWALL DUST!! The guys got here right at 7 a.m. (ewwww...I don't want to be...
Drywall Time!
The day has finally come! We went to get the drywall late this afternoon so that we'd be ready for the drywall hanging guys tomorrow....I can't wait to see what a difference it makes to have the drywall up! I couldn't believe how HEAVY the loads of drywall...
Scrappy!
Today I asked Dad to go with me to take all of the scrap metal to MAW Salvage in Fosterburg. I just love going there, lol, I'm so weird! Seriously though, think about it. Where else can you go take your JUNK..and get money for it? We're talking...
Drywall Ready?
Well, we've been workin' hard upstairs finishing the new insulation, cleaning up, and getting ready to go get the drywall. Hopefully we can do that in the next couple of days. Hoping for a little "Harman Help" on that one! Why does it have to be so...
Do I Feel A Chill?
FINALLY...the day has come.... It's time to hook up the GeoThermal and get it running!!! We HAD to be ready for them today or else we would have had to wait like 4-6 more weeks!!! The temps are just getting a little warm to take that risk! Josh & Kenny...
Traditional Door Headers
I spent this morning caulking and filling all of those headers that Kade made over the weekend. He has been patiently waiting for me to get them done. Hopefully tomorrow I can prime them, then I need to paint them so we can get them up!! They're...
Awesome…just AWESOME!
I guess all of the weeks and MONTHS of hard work on this room are finally paying off! This is what the cabinets looked like this morning after being sprayed with poly yesterday. This little 8" paper was really all I needed to protect the ceiling from overspray with...
FINALLY!!!
DONE! I sprayed two coats of Minwax water based polycrylic on the laundry room / clutter room / pantry cabinets today. HOWEVER...I didn't take any pictures because you couldn't really tell that I had done anything, lol! So...for the sake of having a...
