Which means the trim won’t match, so we are painting the trim. But then the trim will look good and the walls are all scuffed, so we are painting the walls. And if you paint the walls, you might as well paint the ceilings. And then the doors don’t match… so….
Oh, and we figured we’d save $100 by ripping up the existing flooring ourselves. Guess what? $100 doesn’t seem like that big of a deal anymore!!! But, we WERE going to do the install ourselves. We figured out really quick that we are not capable of installing a floor. But we decided we could handle the demo. Call it semi-DIY.
Ripped up carpet. Good thing SG doesn’t have garbage stickers!
Ken ripping up trim and tackboard.
Ken “I hate painting”
Loki decided to “help.” Do you see the PAINT on him??? No monsters were harmed in this weekend’s demo, although Sammy screamed the whole time she had to be upstairs. Loki was fine - he had a whole king sized bed to himself. Loki knows what is important to him.
OK Last pic for tonight. The painted trim. I’ve been waiting for this for 3 years!!! WHITE TRIM WUHU!!!
I hate painting too Ken. I feel your pain.
Hey guys! Keep up the good work…it really will be worth it. I still vividly remember when we put in the hardwood. It must have been traumatic, but definitely worth it! I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished.
