Thank you to all my YW from Pasco 1! They did an amazing job painting, sanding, staining and working at our house. We would never be so close without their help! I will miss them.
Thanks also to my sis and bro, Allie and Ken. They have put so much time in at our house too! They are so awesome and I love them!
Since we started on the house Doug has lost nearly 20 pounds. Check out that bootie!
Here he is cutting a hole in the studs to make room for a light switch box in our bedroom. The last owner decided to put in a cupboard in the bedroom and move the light switch to the hallway. But we don't like the switch out there. My parent's have a bathroom light switch in the hallway and I remember the numerous practical jokes of having the lights turned out while going potty. We aren't going there again.
Here is the living room - ready to be textured. Hooray the drywall and sanding is over! (Sanding is my least favorite part).
Cannon is mixing our beadex wall texture. So fun! We spray textured all the walls in the house because everything was flat. Thats not so good in a home full of kids.
The living room had a large patch of wood that was turned backwards. (Tongues and grooves were in a different direction then the rest of the room. There was a big gap in the wood where the old wall was, so Doug worked his magic in pulling it up, turning the planks and patching up the empty spots.
Here is the floor all ready to be sanded and re-stained!
And after we rent the industrial floor sander the transformation begins... Doug did most of it and Allie helped finish off the living room. It was so exciting! (The tool rental guy acted like I was an idiot when I told him we needed the big sander. He didn't think we'd be able to use it and that we'd gouge holes in our floor. Thanks for your support man!) We showed you!
See that patch in front of Allie? No more uneven or painted boards!
He's so cute!
The finished product. We stained the floors only once with a rich mahogany color and then added a few layers of verithane. It love it! Its like a basketball court!! Can you see the patched area Doug worked on on the left side? You can tell the boards were in a different pattern but it doesn't look so bad! You can't tell some where painted white!
And of course before we did the floors we had a few days of painting.
My laundry room...
All the windows are now trimmed and pretty!
We are getting so close to moving! We have a few small things to do and cleanup time! Yay! Maybe if it stops snowing we'll move some couches in.
