MESS
Remodeling this house has been this huge mess from day one. Don't get me wrong I'm glad and excited to make changes but the mess that keeps happening, especially after I finally get things cleaned up is driving me crazy. The first project was painting and that was crazy trying to make all the cut ins on a wall that really was built with sharp corners, then it was the flooring in the great room, which is the living room and dining room. Which took forever because after preparing for vinyl which is a process we found that it was a scary thing to do in there since it was lifting?? Finally before we found something else we had a water explosion from the hot water connector to the washer machine. The builder never put it together right. Anyway after getting all the water damage done and I mean damage!!! We finally were ready to put the laminate in to wake up and find our ice maker exploded on us and we had water again. Laughing at this point right yeah me too! So finally we got all the flooring in and it was a miracle. Next was the computer/ media room which thank God went well except the fact the the brick faux painting wasn't what we thought. So we ended up painting it a haze color light brown and the bathroom the brick color. Oh and did I mention that we had to replace the flooring in my walk in closet and Bedroom hallway from the water damage as well? What's left? Well the flooring in the boys room and our room the laundry room and two bathrooms and painting in those rooms.... Wow we still have a lot! and with that more messes.

I feel ya. We have been working on our house since we moved in a year and a half ago. We have painted almost the entire inside (which is a 2200 SF tri-level house) with just the exception of the bathrooms and kitchen. My husband has scraped ALL the popcorn off the ceilings, retextured and painted them all. Then he put in new flooring in half the house and we are going to do the other half later. We have done a lot of work on the yard and we are about to get new siding on the house. After that we will remodel the kitchen and bathrooms. We might be done by next winter, but we've still got at least a year of work ahead before it's exactly how we want it. Did you guys buys a house???
ReplyDeleteWOW, I shouldn't be complaining that's a lot of work. We didn't buy another house we had renters and moved back in after they left and they had dog's inside that shouldn't of been.
