Silly, Silly
The house is going well:
2nd floor
-Bedroom Done
-Craft room gets 2nd coat of paint tonight (its REALLY bright green - whee!). Hopefully crown moulding and baseboards can go in tomorrow or Wednesday and then I can unpack and move things in.
-After that drywall and plaster in the computer room can commence.
-The bathroom I'm guessing will be drywalled/plastered and primed/painted next week.
1st floor:
-The living room needs another coat of paint on the ceiling, some paint on the old (now non-functional heating pipes in the corner of the room and some black paint over the ugly red paint on the fireplace bricks. We also have our nicely stripped (heh) poplar mantle that I need to stain and finish so that it can go back on the wall once the walls are painted.
-The dining room had the last coat of plaster yesterday and is ready to prime and paint.
-The den had the last coat of plaster yesterday and is ready to prime and paint. We are really hoping to have this done by the end of the week (we should, if we skip Netgoth coffee on Thursday or go late). If that is the case we'll be having an impromptu gathering at the house on Saturday night - BBQ and vege in our newly finished Den (wheeeee)!
-The downstairs bathroom will have the same work done as the upstairs; most likely next week.
Our downstairs foyer/upstairs hallway is going to be a bitch due to the high ceilings. B has done a couple of coats of plaster so that it may be ready for priming today or tomorrow.
Our kitchen - we've finally admitted it to ourselves that with my tuition bill that's due at the end of this month (which I've put the $ away for and saved but I hoped the bill would be less than it actually was to allow for more house $) and with the chimney lining thing we won't be able to do our kitchen remodel until after the holidays and possibly with a tax refund (that is, if we get one). In the meantime we picked up a cheap 'roll o' linoleum' and put it down over the ugly orange and brown 70's floor that was there. I'm so lazy; I wanted this to be low effort so I told B to just screw down the floor rather than going the proper route and glueing it. It looks WAY better (pictures will be coming soon). We'll also be either stripping the paper in there and throwing up a couple of coats of primer (or even just priming over the old wallpaper) to brighten it up a bit. The result - a retro 50's bright blue kitchen with not enough cabinets (but at least it won't be as butt ugly as it is now).
*Sigh*, so it was a tiring weekend taken up mostly with working on the house. Last night we crashed after moving boxes around in the living room so we could watch some TV (for the first time in over a month!) and tonight we'll be going to Ceremony after I do the 2nd coat of craft room paint.
Gee, isn't my life fascinating ;) ?
