If the rest of the year continues on like New Years Day anyway 🙂 Ryan spent the whole day working on grouting. Most of that was cleaning out the grout lines which was no small feat. After Alex went to bed we grouted the shower and floor. All that is left in that department is …
Since we used the front livingroom I thought I’d share the picture from Christmas Eve…
Our contractor continued to come work on the livingroom the week before Christmas, getting the 1/2 walls built, the beam up and helping my neighbor sheetrock on Friday. Everything was moved to the basement (well most tools were), and the room was cleaned up. All in time to use the room for Christmas! On monday …
As he hoped our contractor was able to finish laying in the floor by the end of the day Tuesday! So the floor and the sheetrock in the cupola are done! And it’s not even the end of the week yet, we still have Friday (and today) for more progress. Our contractor is coming back …
Saturday our neighbor finished up sheetrocking the cupola, it’s great having that done in time to put up a xmas tree this year! Our contractor got the rest of the floor cut out in a feathered pattern for re-installation. Sunday during naptime I got the lights in the livingroom wired down to the panel box …
The contractor and neighbor were back over today while I worked from home. They got the ceiling of the cupola prepped and sheetrocked and then my neighbor started the walls while our contractor planned out our 1/2 walls he’s going to build and went and got materials. We ran out of sheetrock so that’s item …
We hired our contractor and our neighbor to do some work part time for us on the front livingroom and they got started Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend so we have some great progress to report. FRIDAY: Our neighbor’s first job was to move a ton of stuff to the basement, clearing out the …
This past weekend Mark and Suzanne came out to visit. We had a great time, Alex loves having her grandparents visiting and Saturday she was in a great mood. Ryan and his dad worked on tiling the shower most of the day (after going to the dump and Alex’s gym class first) 🙂 Priorities! The …
No more progress this weekend, Saturday we took the day off to relax all day and Sunday Ryan had to work and I started Alex’s Halloween costume at naptime so no house time. I do have pictures from our Friday progress finally though… I’m very happy with 4 days of progress and we got …
Ryan was out stripping paint until 9:30 last night, he’s crazy but determined and got the whole soffit completely stripped! That alone made renting the lift worth it! I didn’t get pictures at the end of the day but the day went like this… Ryan and I up in the lift together got all the …
