When I made my list of all the jobs I could think of that needed to still be done at 117 before the renters moved in on July 1, I had 53. As of this evening we are down to 35.
The transformation this weekend has been nothing short of amazing. We went from the house looking like a construction zone to looking like a house, almost. The main things done included carpeting the living room and dining room and putting most of the trim up in those two rooms, as well as putting the vinyl flooring down in the entry and the door trim up from the entry to the dining room. This all involved a lot of cutting, routing, sanding, priming and painting of trim boards, as well. I also got the hardwood floors cleaned really well and a new coat of sealer put on them, so they look as good as they can for their age and abuse. At least I know they are clean and can be kept clean. And the basement is as finished as it is going to be.
Thanks much to Erica and Chloe and Josiah for their great help yesterday and today. Maybe Erica will post pictures! I was too busy to take any yet (or even to remember to bring my camera!)
Yay! I’m so glad we were able to get so many of the projects checked off! Sadly I forgot to walk around the house to take many pictures–I meant to, but got distracted… I’ll post the few that I did take though. 🙂
Sounds fantastic!! I can’t wait to see photos of what it looks like when it’s done! 🙂
That’s a busy weekend. You’ll have that place ready in no time.
