Still in the process of painting the doors. I finished the main door for my office, and the closet door just needs one more coat. Did one coat of one side on Kristin’s office door and the hallway closet door. Need to do one more coat on that side and two more coats on the other sides, then those doors can be hung too.
With the help of my Dad, we picked up another set of mirror closet doors for my office. We also stopped at Home Depot today to pick up the color samples of that we used to paint the walls. Plan on taking those with us carpet shopping tomorrow to help pick out the colors. We also moved all the large stuff in Kristin’s office either to the basement or into the dining room, so we can get carpet put in those rooms. More pictures have been added to our remodeling album.
I found the camera cable again, and took 23 more pictures of the house of what has been done up to this point. Major things in the picture are looking at the finished trim on the first floor, the hallway, closet, Kristin’s office, and my office. Work still continues on my office at this point with touching up little things here and there before the carpet. We didn’t get around to going last weekend so we’re planning on going this weekend. I’m going to see if my Dad will be able to help me sometime this week in picking up another set of mirrored closet doors for my office closet.
Progress slowed a bit last week because I ended up with the flu for most of the week. At the present time, we are painting my office. I put the last coat on the walls last night and all we have left is the trim and then touching up. I don’t know what the colors are for my bedroom of hand, but I’ll post those when I get them. The new closet that has been added is pretty much finished. Has the same painting needs. George is adding the shelving and the pole this week. I think we’re going to wait to buy the closet doors (which will be mirrored like in Kristin’s office) until after the carpet has been installed. George is doing the last touches on the other closet this week also. He made that closet look a lot nicer by fixing the walls and ceiling, and then drywalling around the air duct that is running up from the basement. I should be able to have that closet painted by the end of the week.
For the dining room, it’s still where it stood last time. We went to the Lowes again last night, and they still do not have the quarter round in stock. We’re running up to Tri-County after work today for hair cuts, so we’re planning on stopping by that one to see if they have any more in stock. Once that’s done, all that is left in the dining room is to change out some of the older electric.
The hallway is finished for the most part. Kristin did the last of the touch up painting last night. We need to put a couple of coats of paint on the banister, but that will only take about 10 minutes each coat. Most of the doors in the hallway have been taken down, and we’re in the process of sanding down parts of them that had a few too many layers of paint, and then painting them the color of the respective rooms and the hallway.
The house is still coming along. My office is pretty much finished except for a few minor touchups and carpet. The stairs and hallway walls have been painted and we just need to do the trim. Yesterday, James put in a track light in the hallway ceiling. It adds a lot of light and really brightens up the area. We still need to put the quarter round in in the dining room, but we have to wait for it to come into Lowe’s. After those things are done, we will just have to finished James’ office and we will pretty much be finished. At least enough to take a break for a little bit before we try to fix up the basement and eventually the master bathroom.
