Day 9

Things are basically wrapped up now, just a few finishing touches to do on the place, and we need to get all the stuff out of it, and then that will be the end of this project. These are photos of the basically finished product.


Living Room







Kitchen





Bedrooms






Bathroom



Day 8

The documented 8th day. Things are getting pretty close to wrapped up at this point. There were some big things that happened on this day, mainly lots of floors going down. Here are pictures of the work.




The bathtub after it has had its new coat of enamel put on it.



The bathtub enclosure in the process of being worked on.




Of course you always have to have some good before and after photos. This is before...



...and this is after.




The living room with its nice new floor.



The new bathroom floor. It's made of rubber, apparently.



Living room floor detail as well as the moulding on the edges.



New laminate flooring in the bedrooms.

Day 7?

I haven't posted for quite a while since things got busy, but now I am back at it,and will post more regularly.

This is probably actually day 10 or 11, but it's the 7th documented day.

There's not much to say, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.







OSB on the kitchen floor, the first layer of the new floor.



Painted cabinets.



The back bedroom.



We got rid of that baseboard heater in the bathroom.



Front bedroom with edging started.



The wall has finally been put up.




You can barely notice it's there!



Living room is still messy but coming along.



The cabinets have been all painted.

Day 5

Today I got to one of the more major parts of the renovation of the kitchen - painting. It was only a bit, but things are really moving along. We'll have floors down in the next couple of days, and the kitchen should be looking really nice soon. It won't be much longer than a week until we're done.

Enough talking, here's the exciting stuff:




The wires connecting to the light were too short to safely install a new light, so we had to take that out and make a mess.



The kitchen floor before being leveled.



Leveling out that part of the floor.



On the tops of the cabinets





We fixed it! It was a bit of work getting it on though.



The paint is going on!!!!!




A painted cabinet door - and an unpainted one.



The grey stuff is floor leveler.

Day 4

I can't remember the exact date... Last Sunday I believe.

Hours Worked: 3
Objective of the Day: General Work

Not much happened on Day 4 either. The floor had some more work done on it, and I spent a lot of time sweeping things up. It was smoking hot that day... I almost had to mow the gigantic lawn too. The lawnmower broke though. (=D)






The sunroom is filling up with stuff.



We found mold on the underside of the carpet, so we've put primer on the floor.



Some of these tiles will have to come up, and the toilet may have to be removed too.



The bathtub is a bit worse than the one in our last project.




The living room is coming along... kind of.



The main bedroom in all its glory.



I could've never guessed what was in there before we removed the cover.



I took a little time to take some pictures of the yard and outside the house that day. Here are a couple:



The dandelion-plagued yard.



Finally, a picture of the front of the house.



The yard is quite big. This is only part of it.



The apple tree produces a ton of apples.
