I went over to the house pretty early yesterday, 7 pm. Oliver's and the master bedroom closet still needs painted to I cleared them both out and took off the doors (with Josh's help). I wiped them down to get them ready to paint. Sometimes I forget how much the prep time can take. In our closet, there is a big dent in the wall, so that needs to be puttied up before it's painted. There is still trim there too that needs painted white. We are building shelves in Penelope's closet, but I haven't given thought to Oliver's or ours. My mom really wants to tackle the bedrooms to get them finished so we can check that off the list. They are so close, yet so far from being done. Here is the list: paint closets (Penelope's is done), paint trim in closets, closet shelves, hang remaining trim in room, ground outlets, and put down carpet. Also, sand and paint doors. We don't like sliding closet doors, but haven't figured out what to do about it yet. My mom wants to get them done, curtains hung and everything and just close the door. Once the bathroom and kitchen done, we don't want to be waiting on bedrooms to be able to move in.
Major plumbing progress! It may not look like much, but plumbing is in place for the upstairs bathroom, downstairs toilet and tub and sink and laundry room washer/dryer and sink.
And we are so close to having a working toilet!
Lovely backyard.
Found this picture of Josh's dad, Danny, on my phone and can't remember if I uploaded it before.
After I cleaned out the closets, I tried to take the hinges off the cabinets that need painted. Some were very easy to take off and some were impossible. I got about 5 done. Then I started to paint cabinets yet again. I swear, they will never get done. I did about 9 before my mom called with an SOS for Oliver and I have to run home to him.
More of the same will be getting done this weekend.
