Not official yet but pictures were taken yesterday and we’re waiting just to see it go up on the MLS. Ryan finished up lots of projects this weekend but I won’t have a lot of pictures until later. Monday Ryan got the mirrors and bars all hung in the bathroom. A dump run, got some …
Ryan and Dad have had a busy couple days already and the upstairs floors are looking amazing (from pictures anyway, they probably look even better in person). Dad is home and Ryan is still doing poly as I type evidently but the first coat they did was Shellac so this is already the second coat, …
This week marks my last contribution to work on the NH house. I am spending the evenings/nights stripping and now painting the built in drawers/doors for the diningroom built-ins. Monday and Tuesday I got the stripping and sanding done. I also got them primed Tuesday night. Now they are getting painted and should be ready …
This weekend was the last weekend I plan to go out to the house to work! We’re busy the month of may and with the baby coming I won’t travel out there in June. Ryan and Dad will go out next weekend to do the floors upstairs and Ryan will stay and finish a few …
Not really long as in longer than 2 days but long as in it felt very long. We got an early start Friday, hitting the road at 5pm and getting to the house by 8! I put the munchkin to bed and Ryan got started grouting the master bathroom! I cleaned paint off the master …
We put the final coat of poly on Sunday night! Ryan sanded when we got back from NY and I got it vacuumed and poly’d while he put Alex to bed! It’s done! And great timing, we can let it dry/cure for the week and we’ll definitely be using it a bit by next weekend! …
It’s not as shiny because it’s drying much faster. It’s also a bit lighter after the sanding I think. I don’t think the 3rd coat will get done before the weekend, maybe Sunday night. This coat took a while with the sanding and vacuuming and it was just me this morning. It looks very smooth …
The stain wasn’t quite dry enough last night to do the first coat of poly so I took an hour and a half this morning and got it done by myself and Ryan took Alex to daycare to save me some time. It went pretty well, the first coat doesn’t need sanding/vacuuming before hand so …
This weekend was awesome! Mom and Dad came out for the weekend and it was a very productive weekend! We started with this…. Dad and Ryan spent Saturday sanding the floors down … they came out great (and completely even) Sunday we cleaned them up really well (all dust gone) and then Dad and I …
Not a lot of house progress this past weekend because we were potty training and Ryan had to work most of the weekend. I did manage however to work during naptimes and our neighbor came over on Friday and painted windows. 9 windows got a single coat of interior paint done (the exterior is already …
