Paint and Hardware

By

Due to Hurricane Harvey we've had to hire a new contractor and he is demolishing the entire house!
Just kidding :)   This is Ian helping out with some post-flooding clean up in the Houston area.

The good is that our house came through Harvey unscathed.  The bad news is that it's been hard to get my general contractor to show up.  He was less fortunate and his house flooded.  I'm cutting him some slack and not being a pushy customer.

The paint crew has been hard at work.  The ceilings and trim are all done, and the walls are nearly finished as well.  As they've finished with rooms we've been going through behind them and installing ceiling fans, light fixtures, door knobs, hinges, plates, etc.  It's finally starting to look like a house!

New Light Fixtures


In addition to needing to replace a lot of brass hardware (seriously, who likes brass?), we are also needing to replace various plastic fixtures that have yellowed over time.  We are tackling the registers right now, but we still have smoke detectors and the doorbell to do, too.

Also, the glass for the master shower was installed.  I love it!

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!

Seeing the Finish Line

We are close... So close! There are still a few things left for the contractors to do, and even more things for us to take care of, but we are getting so close to moving. In fact we have even started moving! Stairs are done and looking awesome! Before   After Master Bath Before After Before After Pianos getting moved in! Yep, its getting real! On a side note... if you need piano movers, these guys are awesome.  I wouldn't trust moving the delicate 800 pound beast to just anyone.  Without internet, Ian discovered this little thing called 'the outdoors...' We have a decent climbing tree in the backyard. 3rd Floor got some carpet.  Mantle Prep.  Matt and Greg made the mantle, they did an amazing job! Before After Boys Bathroom Before After Before After Half Bath Makeover! Yikes, I can't believe it used to look like that! Before ...
