So I got the last of the old studs down today and the kitchen in now part of the “Greatroom”. Now you can see all the way from the front of the house out the back door. Which is funny because the house itself is on a bit of a tilt and when they put in a sliding glass door on the back of the house they made it level to the world not level to the house. The result is now it looks like a fun house when you are looking from the front to back. I am not sure what I will do to fix the problem but I am sure I will come up with something.
I also went down to our old house today to pick some stuff we had left behind. The new owner has done tons of work in the back yard and it looks great! He did all the stuff I was meaning to get to but never did. Now the van is packed with all kinds of stuff I am not sure what to do with.
Anyhow, tomorrow I will finish getting the boxes out of the kitchen that have been there since we moved a month ago, finish taking up the first layer of floor, take down the rest of the drywall on the ceiling to reveal the t&g ceiling hidden underneth and make another dump run. My in-laws are just back from Florida and are coming over for dinner in two days. They have not seen the house yet. I wonder what they will have to say….hmmmmm……. I think I know but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. It should be …..interesting.
Sunday we are having my daughters Third birthday party so I have to have things up to a certain level of cleanliness and safety. It should be lots of fun not to mention they are having Huck Finn day in town and a fishing derby for the kids on Saturday so I won’t be getting much done on the weekend. So it must be done by Friday. NO pressure.
Now I am getting in trouble (from my lovely wife) for not calling the guy who is going to help me run the wire for the new lights. We are putting in twenty new GU10 4″ stainless pot lights. They are going to be very nice. I promise I will call tomorrow.
Did I mention that I am also going to be running new pex water line for the whole house. I was at Home Depot today looking at what they carry and I can get most of what I need there. That should be fun…ish, running new pipe through my whole house. Really though, how hard can it be?
Also I was looking at The Silent Paint Stripper® on-line. I can’t wait to get a hold of one of those puppies. WE, the royal we have plans to strip the whole house this summer and repaint the whole thing with linseed oil paint. We just have find a Canadian supplier.
It late and time for sleeeeeeeeppppp.
Nite
