Jamey and Jeff then sanded everything. It was incredibly messy at our home for two days. The dust has now settled and it's everywhere. I can't, and won't even think about cleaning and dusting the upstairs until this project this done because it will just drive me crazy if I have to dust everyday to stay ahead.
Thursday night we had to prime everything- ceiling and walls. We had to get it all done Thursday night so Jamey and Jeff could come back Friday and patch anything necessary. Thank God for our neighbors! Our next door neighbor, June came over in the rain and spent a few hours with us!
Because there was absolutely NOTHING Alaric could mess up, he had the pleasure of helping us paint!
This picture was taken Monday night. We have spent days doing nothing but trim and doors! One coat of primer and atleast two, sometimes three coats of paint. We are so sick of trim and doors. You don't realize what all has to be done when you are starting for scratch!
So, here's the tentative timeline....
- Today-Sunday- get every square inch of the basement painted
- Monday-Wedneday(11/3-5)- Jamey back to install trim and hopefully install our custom cabinets and bar ( if they get in).
- Thursday-Friday(11/6-7)-Carpet layers come and install our new carpet
- Thursday-Sunday(11/6-9)- Brian leaves for Conference in Indiana
- Weekend-I will clean the basement and the unfinished part top to bottom so we can put together storage shelves and get ready to move back in from our storage unit across town.
- Monday-Friday(11/10-14)-Move back into basement
- Saturday (11/15)-Last home game for Illini Football
- Sunday (11/16)-23 people ( including 9 children) to our home for Thankgiving Dinner
Tons to do! You''ll see big changes as these pictures keep coming!
