Day...who knows maybe 9?

So after a few days of slow to no work, there was some good progress to report from yesterday and today.

After the new windows installed the trim was removed to insulate them from the inside. They are being finished and are almost ready to be textured and painted.

Old tile is getting removed from the 2nd bath.

Master bath has a new framed wall for the new shower.

This is exciting! The stairs are being extended. Since we had a half wall the stairs only went to the inside of the wall. You can see the difference in the picture. Now that the wall is coming down (think circa 80's Berlin) the stairs need to be flush with the outer part of the wall.

Tile is removed (not new) but the piles of tiles are out!

Day 13

Closets are getting their update. Out with the old sliding mirror doors. We knew that the master closets needed some updating, but the solution wasn't straightforward. So our contractor suggested we make the entry smaller and add two normal doors to pull the closets into this century. The his and hers closets are across the hall from each other and huge doors would hit, if we wanted to be in our closets at the same time. Solution: Smaller doors and offset entrances. The funny thing the opening is actually bigger now, even though they are framing it for doors to fit. Why does my closet already have more stuff in it? Former shower space, now has the framing for cabinets. Master Shower plumbing, is coming along. Squee! Master vanity! 2nd Bath has plumbing exposed and new hardware ready to be installed. Good thing our drywall is getting replaced, that looks a little water damaged! 2nd Bath has cabinets too!

2 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back

Sorry it's been awhile since the last update, thing have been moving, but slowly. 2nd Bathroom: Counter tops, plumbing, and hardware! New shower backer, all ready to be tiled... as soon as the tile comes in. It was supposed to be in last week (sad face). The shower had drywall behind it before, but I feel a whole lot more comfortable with hardibacker wet area cement board. So it feel like things are really moving along... and then you realize you have a toilet in your hall. This spawned an amazing quote from my good friend, SM: Life Lesson #679 courtesy of Cannon Renovation: "Sometimes we just have to appreciate the positive and hope our crap ends up where it should..." Master Bath: we've got some materials in: master shower flooring Shower detailing I love, love, love our silver travertine counter tops! We got to go pick out our slab and I'm so glad we were picky, it looks great with the cabinets. Plumbing and ...

Stairs and Flooring

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted anything because it seems like a long time since any real progress has been made on the house. I think that in the wake of Hurricane Harvey all of the subcontractors took on extra work and our house was neglected :( But we are back on track and the stairs are done! They still need to be stained, but it's exciting to see the the carpentry done because this was the impetus for the whole renovation project. We knew we needed to redo the stairs and everything else just snowballed from there. 'Before' The stairs look great!!! They have started on the flooring this week and have already made great progress. There is a lot of floating required to level the floor, so that is slowing things down, but I love the way the laminate looks. Leveling the floor outside the master bathroom The living room floor was pretty torn up from removing the tile and they ...
