Junk out finished

Have a nice empty garage now! The junk out took a couple days, but nice to have it done. The guys looked through the side windows and commented on how nice my floors were! I agree :)

Been working on the shoe molding - only have the bathroom and half of one bedroom left to do. Then painted the thresholds on the front and back doors. Also got the new stair treads put down.

It's all these little piddly jobs that seem to take much longer than they should.

Tomorrow my realtor is stopping by. I had hoped to have the appliances in for that, but c'est la vie!
My handyman called, and he can't get out until next week to do the railing and a few other things. Seems like I spend a lot of time waiting for other people!

Moldy paint

After putting the 2nd coat of finish on the floors, I moved on to painting the back hallway off the kitchen. I thought I would paint it the same color as the kitchen, so I got out the paint tray and roller that I had used previously. They were both covered in mold! So - I got out the leftover paint, and there was mold inside of the paint can as well. How weird! The odd thing is, this is special paint for kitchen and bath that is supposed to be resistant to mold. Yuck.
So, that area is now going to be white LOL!

Hopefully the floors will be dry tomorrow. It is extremely humid and hot, so I don't hold out a lot of hope that I will be able to walk on them tomorrow - but they were finished by 2pm so maybe they will be dry by 9am tomorrow morning. If so, then the shoe molding will go in the dining room and kitchen.

Another picture of the dining room with varnish. Very purty!!

Never ending paint!

Painting again, and again. Of course, we painted the kitchen and office of our own home this weekend, and here I am painting again.
Got the bathroom, dining room and living room primed, the bathroom trim mostly done and the dining room ceiling painted.

Here is a living room progress shot from original to today:

Bathroom is really starting to come along. Pics of the backer board, and the dry run of tiles. Today I started installing the tiles.



Tonight is a trip to the big box for a lot of big stuff. Getting some dry wall, plywood, backer board, shower surround and more paint.
