May21st
Sorry yesterday’s post was not up…I forgot to hit "publish"—thankfully I had saved it…so it is up there now…
So today was a WOW!! day…It poured rain all yesterday–and I mean POURED…and I got up this morning and guess what?? It was still raining
I went down to take Brooklyn to the bus stop this morning and I ran into Drew at the turn off by the bus stop…he said something about maybe just having the guys load up the dumpster and that would be all due to the weather. I suggested doing the rest of the interior demo…well, he thought that was a great idea and he came right down and got them going on that…So I did take some pictures before they got here and this is what it looked like this morning…
See…nice and clean….
A few walls here and there….
My biggest problem was a few leaks…
Then Shazam!! I am glad I was here to see it this time…the first bit of demo happened when I was not here, I just came home and it was all cleaned up and who was to know how it all went down. I have a much better idea now!
Check out my NEW Pendant lighting
Maybe I could save Troy some money and recylcle these…Hahahaha
Doug and Dion were trying to hide from my camera…but I caught them a couple of times here and there…
No more drywall on the ceilings…no more drywall on the walls…no more pantry, no more oven…
And here is the view from the front door…hard to see how GREAT it is through the plastic–but the goal was to have a view all the way through the house from the front to the back when you come in the front door…So I am really excited with how this is turning out…
We have a gas/HVAC guy (JEFF) coming to start this week…we have to get our gas meter upgraded…but he has lots to do before that is required. We are NOT having the company I spoke of before (Troy Services) do our plumbing/electricity etc…they ended up being overpriced and a little bit unreliable (late and no show)…so we moved onto some folks that Drew has recommended….We will see how it goes i guess. A drywaller came by around supper time today (Bryan) to work up a quote for replacing and repairing the drywall…he will need to come back in a week or so to get better measurements…A plumber and an electrician that Drew knows are coming by tomorrow and Wednesday respectively to give us bids…
Drew thinks they are still going to be done here by Friday…we will see I guess
