Bedroom Flooring, Paint and switch plate covers too!

Today we finished the painting in the bedroom, started the flooring and hope to move in there on Monday night.

Hall is done..well sort of.

Today we finished up the hall between the bath and bedroom. We were going to put carpeting down on the floor there, but having someone install it and dealing with workmen is not my idea of a good time so I ripped up the flooring from the kitchen back and reinstalled it having the wood go into the hall way and now it will seamlessly go into the bedroom as well. The trim still needs to be put up in the entire house. The final coat of mud will be put on the bedroom tonight. At least I hope it is the final coat. After the bedroom is painted and the wood floor goes in we will do the trim in the house saving the back porch into a bedroom transformation for last.

No Built in

We thought it best to leave the built in out of the project as the cost we may not recoup in the selling process. So I put a sheet of dry wall up there. Also today I finished framing up the closet in the bedroom. It will only be 60" wide, but the second bedroom will also have a closet. I ripped up all the bad flooring and patched it with new wood. Today I set new plywood on the bedroom floor. Things are really cooking now. I thought it would take about two weeks to complete this bedroom. It has been almost a month since I started the tear out to get to this point. I sure hope the final room of the house goes faster. I guess if a guy doesn't have to rip out a bathroom before he builds a bedroom maybe it goes faster.

Directions

So here is where everything sits this morning. It will be so nice to get the porch done into the 2nd bedroom. We are use to the redneck wind sock hanging in the door way however. The back room has no insulation at all so the pink blanket puffs up depending which way the wind blows. Last summer it was like an oven in there, so we hung the blanket to keep the cold out this winter.

Bathroom lights are in

So after a time of ordering lights and not getting them we finally found these lights and they arrived yesterday. I put them right in away as it makes getting ready easier in the morning if you can see.

First Coat of Mud on the walls

Today I was able to finally get the first coat of mud on the walls in the bedroom. Kristine's birthday was Saturday so we went bike riding and took the dog for a walk. I was going to fly her to Paris for the day but we decided to put the money into the house. ;) Hopefully I will be posting a painted bedroom this weekend.

Bye Bye Plumbing Wall

So the dry wall is almost complete in the bedroom. The plumbing wall is behind all that showing. The bedroom is wired up and have just a few more sheets of dry wall to hang. Then it's off to mudding the walls, ceiling and installing a 1-4 sub floor over all the floor. Then find a carpet, install it and move the bedroom in there so we will have living room. So now when guest come over we do not have to make the bed. :)
The other day my wife made this meal. Just a regular meal for her. It looked so nice I just had to photograph it.

You hate to brag

Because I didn't have anything to do with the weather but look at the next 4 days. We are going for a walk!
