Remodel update

AAAAHHHHHHHH!

OK, i feel better, for now!

Slowly, very very slowly. That is how tings are going. I forget how much work it takes to remove oak trim without damaging it so it can be used again, and yes it will be put right back were i took it off from but i have to remove it so I can get that nasty laminate flooring up and the new tile down! i hate the ideal of painting oak trim, but it will look best that way in the new room. Right now i am thinking of going with a Crackle paint treatment for the trim but it all depends on if i can find the supplies needed. Have to make a trip to the local Menard’s and see what i can find. I was going to do just that today but no such luck!

YES! We got snow! SNOW SNOW SNOW!

I love snow!

Can you tell?!

The trees were very pretty.. for a bit, then the wind picked up and the snowy trees lost there snow and the roads once again became a bit trick to travel on.

Anyway, the trim is removed from the “blue” side of the room and i have started doing the wonderfully fun job of patching the drywall. Who put all them holes in my wall in the first place? i don’t remember ever having that much stuff hanging on my walls… ever! If you have never had to patch drywall count yourself lucky. Sand a bit, fill the hole with filler, wait for it to dry, sand again, and if you are OH SO LUCKY you get to start all over again on the exact same spot!

Tomorrow I’ll start taking up the flooring in the blue half of the room, i think i might feel like i have gotten something done if i get some of that yuck out of the house! Why did i let everyone convince me int he first place that i would like the laminate flooring? Yes it was easy to clean, not it doesn’t last forever, it scratches, it chips, and you can’t do anything to repair it when it does! Oh and heaven forbid if someone would spill something on the floor and not tell you about it until it had a chance to soak in, cause if you don’t clean it up ASAP the edges of the laminate will start to curl, and once the curled edges dry they are sharp and can (will!) cut the bottom of your feet. I got the scar to prove it! I wish i had gone with the tile in the first place but nope i let others tell me what i wanted… i really hate “others”!
