Our new house, phase two

We closed on the new house and got straight to work. We had ten days to get a lot of work done before our furniture arrived. We started by painting … ceilings and walls in five large rooms and the hallway.

Next we had a contractor in to start the remodeling project on the master bathroom. He gutted the bathroom to the studs and said it would be done in about seven days … we are still waiting on the walls to be rebuilt!

We then had about 2500 square feet of carpet ripped out and replaced with 1000 square feet of hardwood floor and 1000 square feet of new carpet. Bathrooms are going to be tiled (if our contracted gets it done). All this was done in the first six days.

Then we put in all new six inch baseboards, which had to be painted before we could put them in. So we had many nights up late, painting and painting.

We have also started tearing down 1971 velvet wallpaper out of the bathrooms. What a chore that has been.

We had a landscaper come and tame the wild jungle that was growing in the yard and we have a fence ordered, hopefully to be installed sometime this next week.

SO, here are some pictures of phase two … our remodeling has begun!
