The Bathroom

Ok, the system would not let me include the bathroom pictures, so here they are. The first is the ceiling fan that the old owners had in.





The next is the new vent fan (what should have been in there all along) that my brother-in-law installed for me.








Now, here is the gross tub and surround from when I first bought this house. It looks really bad.








And here I have done some cleaning, just to see what the condition was, and if the tub is salvageable. The jury is still out on that, because of the cost of replacing the tub and surround, and the fear of what the wall behind the them is like.

Pictures of my house

I have pictures to post of my house, since I and several friends took out the carpet today. The living room and back bedroom floors are in fair condition. The front bedroom floor is not too bad, it just has adhesive on it from when I believe the previous owners had put down carpet tiles rather than regular carpet. The hallway is pretty bad, looks like one or more animal had accidents that went through the carpet and pad to the floor. The back room, where my quilt studio is going to be had carpet over carpet tiles. So the sub floor is sticky as well. I am thinking of putting linoleum down in there, just not sure of the cost. I also have before and after pictures of the bathroom. I have replaced the ceiling fan with a proper vent fan, and have begun to clean the tub and surround.

Work is coming along

I have gotten more work done on my house. The vent fan has been installed in the bathroom, and I have started cleaning the bathtub. Thankfully, it looks like the tub and surround are salvageable, so I am going to be able to save money on that. I have also found so paint at a local recycling company called "Under the counter" for free. I also found paint at a local hardware store that was mixed incorrectly for someone else, getting a gallon for only $5.

I began removing the wall paper in the front bedroom yesterday. It is taking longer than I was hoping it would, but I should be able to get it done today. Then I will be taking down the blinds and curtains to wash and see if I can salvage them. I will also be washing the walls, taking the ceiling fan blades down to wash.

I hope to have updated pictures this week, and when I do I will be posting them here.

Final Walk Through

I had the final walk through on my house, closing is Monday. I am even more excited, and feeling a bit overwhelmed. The house if going to work well, the quilting room is really a good size, but the whole house needs so much cleaning. I wish I had remembered to bring the camera today, but I will have it on Monday, and will try to post pictures on Monday night.

It is getting close

I am getting ready for the final walk through on my house on Friday, and the signing on Monday. I am excited about this, as everything seems to be coming together. I will have more pictures on Friday (I hope) showing what this house looks like empty. I have driven by several times, and recently noticed a dumpster out front. Reminds me I need to get one delivered next Tuesday.
