This weekend was full of progress on various things. Friday our neighbor taped the diningroom (the part we can tape) and our contractor started on the cofferred ceiling boxes. On Saturday they both were installing the boxes and we have the sides on for most of the boxes (just the bump out part is left). …

Another great weekend of house progress. Our contractor and our neighbor were over Friday and Saturday, they got the sheetrock finished in the diningroom (the part we can do), the first round of taping in the upstairs hallway (and stairwell!) finished and the archway in the livingroom stripped the rest of the way! Woohoo! Then …
Our contractor and neighbor came over Friday and Saturday this week and we have a sheetrocked stairway now! It was not easy sheetrocking that section over the stairs, we left the original ceiling in place (there are only 2 ceilings in the whole house we are leaving, this one and the front livingroom). They sheetrocked …
I can’t really say a fully working bathroom JUST yet because we are waiting on some minor necessary things like a toilet seat (Thurs), Shower curtain rod (Fri) and we need to buy a mirror. However the bathroom is partially useable and Alex even took a bath in her new tub last night which she …
Our contractor and neighbor came on Friday and Saturday again this week so lots of progress was made! Friday our contractor started stripping the archway in the livingroom. Even though there is no lead paint in this (we had everything tested so we know where the lead paint is – upstairs mostly), I wanted the …
The last two evenings after Alex went to bed I painted the trim in the bathroom. This was a LOT of cutting in but it’s done! Now I just have some touchups of wall paint to do from caulking mostly and we’ll install the vanity tonight probably. Jason is going to come out any day …
Friday our contractor finished the upstairs hallway flooring! Our neighbor finished spackling the livingroom over Friday and Saturday and got the linen closet sheetrocked. Our contractor got the closet door installed and Ryan finished installing the bathroom trim. I sanded and primed all the trim on Saturday evening. I’m hoping to get some …
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! Ryan got a good start on the trim in the bathroom, each piece had to be made except the rosettes which I stripped …
