My husband Brian thinks we should open a new retail outlet called “Staples”…LOL. We keep pulling and pulling. They are eternal it seems. Just when you think you can finish in one evening, it takes another. Yet another 4 to 6 hours of pulling and we should be done! I’m glad there was carpet only in 2 bedrooms, and the stairwells! The pictures may not look like much…but they are prepped and ready for flooring, once we get to that stage!
The mudding has started. Our friend Cam McCulloch, http://www.cammcculloch.com/ General Contractor is going to be doing some of the work for us! Ceiling prep has also begun, thanks to our friend Gary!
Another “thing of beauty” is our bath spigot now works It didn’t require re tiling the tub and it is like brand new….now to get to the CLR and clean up the tub and tile. Just wait…it is going to sparkle!
Still no word from the structural engineer. There has been a change in property managers, so today I brought the new one up to speed. Hopefully we won’t loose too much time over this.
Tonight we started our evening of work with a picnic in the condo for supper! I think all these experiences make for a lot of good memories!
