Bathroom Renovation Progressing Nicely!


After we all took a break for Christmas, we have started back at it today. Adair and Hailey, are doing a great job of the tub and the wall surround. They have installed mason board, and after that is complete they will install beautiful tiles.


They have come up with a great decor for the bathroom, and we are all excited to see it when it is done.


My job, right now, is painting. I have managed to get the master bedroom plus one small bedroom primed, and 2 coats of ceiling paint. Plus make sure the kitchen order gets going, and after having a new furnace installed, we are going to get the ducts professionally cleaned, hopefully after the holidays.


Once we get the bedrooms painted, then I will get the carpet put in. We are putting carpet in the 4 bedrooms and a runner down the stairs. I already put a deposit on the carpet to secure a good price.


Michelle has been helping me with the wiring, and making things safe.


With us all having other day jobs, we work on the house when we can, and are hoping to be finished by the end of January. The kitchen will not be ready for install before then, but we can have everything else ready. I already purchased the 5 appliances. I got 15% off, an already good deal if I purchased them before the end of the year. But we have to take delivery by the 8th, so they may have to sit in the living room for now.

Install Bathtub and More!


Adair and Hailey managed to get the new bathtub in the upstairs bathroom. With some help they also got the plumbing organized and are now ready for tiling.


It was a busy week. We finished off the wallpaper removal, plumbing lines replaced, new laundry tub, kitchen confirmed, additional subflooring, and today I was trying to wash the walls to get rid of wallpaper residue, and prep them for some repairs with spackle. Who ever lived here before, loved to hang pictures on the walls (lots of nail holes) and hooks in the ceiling.


The house still seems to be in shambles, but I am sure it will come together in the New Year, as we have picked many of the new additions, such as kitchen, paint and flooring etc.


Tomorrow, they are coming in to do the final measure for the new kitchen cabinets.
