Ryan has a couple of weeks off and is hitting the upstairs hard! We have a crazy ‘list’ written out and we’ll see what he can get done so far he is on a roll as none of these jobs are easy! Monday he jumped right into demo and got the back bedroom completely demo’d …
We’ve been doing a lot but instead of covering the weekend I’m going to post by project. Ryan is going to be working on the house for 3 weeks straight starting next week and I’ll try to keep up the documentation to follow that but this week I’m going to just try to catch up …
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 …

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 …
This past weekend (we were home on Monday only) marked some progress on the linen closet! Friday my neighbor Pete was over working so he sanded, primed and painted the closet (then did some other projects like empty out the master bathroom area). Monday we went to home depot and got the closet system, then …
We were home on Mother’s day weekend and got a little house work done! Then we also had my neighbor over the last 2 Fridays so a little more progress. All on the upstairs hallway. Ryan got the back wall of the hallway demo’d so you can see the back staircase and attic staircase now. …
