Gut a house and refurbish

thanks HG. we've begun to put some color on the walls. we (my wife ) are big fans of reds, yellows and browns....did i say reds? i hope to have the interior painting done this weekend. then we'll get our bathroom tile started and some trim carpentry begun. after the interior paint cures sufficiently i'll sand and put a polyurethane coat on the hardwood floors. the /hvac guys were in today doing some finish work. things are coming together. the pool guy is scheduled to come in on Tuesday as well as the septic tank guy.

 

PAINTING

DONE!

 

Perfect, I need a painter. Can you start Thursday?


You look like Brett Farverer

 

Fuckin' A. Does the insulation have to be shaved down before the drywall goes up?

That stuff would make doing any future wiring a real pain in the ass.

 

yes, the dude used a saws-all equiped with a long blade to shave it down even with the studs. since i re-wired the entire house, i hope i wont have to worry about future wiring woes but i see your point.

 

good luck

 

thanks, so far - so good.

 

the new septic system is in, all we need is for the plumber to tie us in to it. i put down the cement backer board in both bath rooms this week. i must have used over 400 screws and 5 gallons of thinset. we picked out our carpet today and purchased the tiles, thinset, grout and tools for the entire job except for ordering the tiles for the main bath. we also began cleaning out the pool, man its a friggin mess. we had an electrician do some re-wiring in the pump house, all systems go. i'll get a load of water next week to top the pool off and we'll begin shocking. we have a leak in the liner somewhere and my pool guy seems to have already identified the probable culprit. we shall see. imma be laying some tile next week so if you hear cussing off in the distance you'll know its me. hopefully the interior doors and trim carpentry will start to go in next week as well. my right arm still hurts.

oh yeah, the kitchen cabinets are in place so we'll be ready to meet with the granite people soon.

 

the master bath has been tiled (thank you very much). i'll grout tomorrow. hopefully the white tile for the main bath will arrive soon and i can begin that job. the interior door hanging has begun. finished plumbing and electrical estimates have been given, check. we are awaiting final bank draft to accomodate the final finish work. pool shocking will begin on friday. May 31st is looking good to me! more pics to come soon.

 

here ya go....first the drywall mexicans, then me and the wife slap on the primer and paint.
