Sports Fans,  Week 5 was felt uneventful as we are still on the WALLS, but we are making progress!

THE WALLS

The fact of the matter is that this wall repair work is a grueling, son of a bitch. And if I am honest, I want nothing to do with it. I’ll run errands all day before I have to clean up this mess.  I’ve never seen such a pieced together nightmare as we’ve found behind these cabinets. See hwo satisfying though as new sheet rock goes up below.

NOW

 

BEFORE

We must remember from whence we came.

My husband put several buckets of mud on the walls, slowly building up he walls.

SKIM COATING

Here it is drying. NOW

BEFORE

It does feel good to have the walls pretty much all covered now. Lots of sanding, patching and then painting will be happening now.   That is where I can step in and start to help again.

CABINETRY

We are going to put in a WETBAR where the cabinetry was – with a small bar and fridge, as well as some drawers and a nice counter top. The plumbing needs to be rerouted. FYI, the wet bar is not a true bar for my daughter, but a place to make tea and wash paint brushes, etc. since she paints sometimes.

Ive been searching for something we could just make do with but my husband will most likely make it himself. Won’t be done in two weeks though..

I like the simplicity of these.  Simple, clean…

If we can get the walls and floors done and my daughter somewhat moved in, that will be a triumph!

See you all next week!
