1/31 Update

Ok, we are still texturing some parts of the house, but mostly done. Today we were electricians installing recessed lighting. Tomorrow we go back to sheetrock and mud. Plumbing work is now 90% done. All we have to do is put in the P-Traps, and cover plates once the cabinets are in. Tile is now being decided on. Im down to 3 choices, from a lot. We have to run new joists between the green metal joists under the floor to prevent any bouncing. This would cause grout cracks after just a few months. We dont want that to happen....

Heres some pics.

Still Going

Ok we are still in drywall phasing. Today I dropped $9,000 on cabinets and vanity stuff. I am broke as a joke. We decided not to build the cabinets due to my scheduling conflict. I am taking a major exam on April 4th, and will need time to study, so I had to outsource the cabinets, so that we can do the work that was originally scheduled for March, in February, while the cabinets are being built simultaneously up safely in Oregon.

I have picked out about 50 colors of paint to choose from. (thanks tris) Now I have to shortlist them to about 10. Which will give me a couple of colors per room.

Here are some pictures that will get us up to date. 

 Good Girl Millie.

Ok, I cant keep up with the day by day breakdown, there is too much going on in my life.

Since the last blog, we have finished up underneath the house, sealed up the subfloor, started putting up gypsum board (sheetrock) taped and mudded the master bedroom, installed new plumbing for the kitchen and master bathroom, framed in my new closet, replaced some siding, and primed the siding before it rained. I have drawn up the design of the new kitchen and bathroom vanity, and we can now start thinking about building the cabinets.

ONWARD!
