September was the end of our house renovation. I knew it would happen and so I put a big push on to get a bunch of things done that last week of summer. Hubby managed to finish the ceiling in our room and the upstairs bathroom and hall over the steps. I ran out of clear coat about mid-week with the intention of getting more. I wrapped up the paint brush and laid it on top of the old paint can and there it has lingered, hardening till solidified till today. Hubby,since then, did manage to get our front door working but has not completed the trim boards around the door. The kitchen does not have the door to the pantry finished nor are my shelves that hold dishes and glasses put back up and as a matter of a fact the shelves are fading and greying in the outdoor sunlight. The downstairs has a working toilet and a tub that is in the right place but not hooked up. There is no sink hooked up either. The mirrored cabinet is not on the wall in the downstairs bathroom and that is just plain laziness since that is just screwing it into place. Either way, the renos have come to a resounding halt. I think we are just too burnt out to do any right now. This week when our company called to say that they were coming I jumped on the opportunity to get us back into action. Mike has been busy each day, in between working and other obligations, to get another panel up in our bedroom and I have clear coated the door for our bedroom. The door is not hanging yet but I'm working on that. I am going out to the shed in a little while and dragging in the mirrored cabinet for the wall in the bathroom and then if my energy doesn't die on me I'm hauling in the shelves for the kitchen. That at least will be a little on my part. Hubby has taken the trim boards for around the front door to plane them on the planer at work, and hopefully they will go up tonight. Every little bit helps. Here are a few pictures to see our progress.
Bathroom vanity still a mess with no sink in yet. the sink is still in the box.
There still needs to be paneling put up behind the toilet in the downstairs bathroom.
The tub is in place but not hooked up and the paneling needs to be done here to cover in the plumbing... if it ever gets finished.
Yes, the pantry door is not in and there isn't even a framing board to attach it too anyway!
Temporary table in corner and stool. Notice that there are no shelves above the the table and stool.
The sunroom/studio is still a mess. Notice there is still paneling to be done, flooring to be done and ceiling to be done.
The electrical box is still exposed and waiting for the next round of electrical renovations.
The front door still needs the trim to be done.
Our bedroom door is not in yet but Hubby only put up the paneling yesterday and notice we still have paneling to do at the top.
Around the door to the balcony there is still a lot of work to be done. The closet is in but there are no doors to it and the top is not on. Two whole wall have to be paneled and the bathroom has no paneling at all.
There is still a lot of work but I'm not pushing the issue. I figure if I can get a little done every month then Hubby won't hate me for nagging but it eventually will get finished.
I just hope the company won't mind the mess and lack of privacy.
