Our contractor was here all week. He got the hallway subfloor patched and prepped, got the double door removed from our room so he could frame in the back of the linen closet and got to work putting down the new flooring in the hallway. Our new closet door arrived today too (for linen closet) …
The front livingroom now has all been taped, our neighbor got out of work early yesterday so he came over and taped the vertical seams. Moving along nicely! It’s great! Our contractor is here today, working on the upstairs hallway floor project this week. After this week we’re hoping he can commit to one-two days …
Ryan was able to take a long weekend, taking Thursday and Friday off this week (new year!). This means house progress continued, especially since our contractor and neighbor were also here working!
