Gut a house and refurbish

final floor shots and then............moving day, on our 23rd wedding anniversary.....good thing my son was home from college to lend a hand. thats about it for now. stay tuned.

 

You've done an amazing job and have much to be proud of.

 

thank you

never in our wildest dreams did we ever imagine that we would be taking on a project such as this but life has a way of thrusting you into situations that test your mettle. i honestly beleive they were about to mark my own private parking spot at Lowes. i hope to post more pics soon. i'm doing a subway tile in the red bathroom and some new furniture will arrive for the living room in the weeks to come, maybe a flat screen to replace the behemoth 57" projection tv in that modest area of the house.

 

Everything looks great!!!!!!!! Send more pics when you can.

 

I knew the end result of all that hard work would be something spectacular, but WOW...it's absolutely incredible!

Love the colors, the light fixtures, the granite, and the floors...OMG the floors! I want that tile in your master bath for my entry - I have that same brown suede in my hall & part of my great-room, that's just awesome! Those hardwoods will be something that your entire family will love for many years to come, past & present melded together, absolutely beautiful!

Kudos you and you family on this HUGE accomplishment, seriously, so many people say they could do it, but how many really do? What a great 23rd anniversary present to each other!

 

Lowe's carries the Roman Gold floor tile along with the decorative inlay strips. there are other slight color variations along the gold theme. i think we chose the gray grout but i need to check the bag for the exact color. my wife made most of the decisions on the paint color but i have to admit i wasnt all that hip on things like the burnt orange living room or the red ceiling in the main bath but its only paint. after everything came together i think she did well. i hope that she has gotten her HGTV fix for this decade, i know i have! LOL.......

 

looks great RD. It doesn't even look like the same house I walked through. I guess it isn't with all the hours you put into it.

How's the basement shaping up or will that be Project2008?

 

we'll organize and paint but it will remain a workshop/laundry/storage area. i've already done alot of cleaning and organizing lately.

yall take a day and come visit. bring your swim trunks, towels and the little ones if you want. i'll even feed you too.

 

i tiled all weekend, from 8-5 on saturday (saturday before last too) and then from 8-3 yesterday. 3"x6" white subway tile in one bath, approx. 5' high, all the way around the tub/shower. i counted 20 courses. all told it took two saturdays and a sunday, now for the grout.

 

congratulations!
