Piece by piece

Here are the details.

Upstairs:
Four door frames and doors down.
Four new jams and doors installed.
New door trim and baseboards painted.
Trim sanded and repainted (insert mad face here).
Wall paint touch-ups.
Trim cut and installed on two and half doors.
More trim sanded and repainted and more new trim painted.
Baseboards cut and installed in master bedroom and half of the upstairs hallway.

Okay, that is a little demoralizing seeing all of that in such a simple list, because it was a lot of hard work. This list does not include all the runs to the store, all the mistakes, all the issues with having no plum line or square angle in the house...or the fact that our floor rises and falls like the middle of the ocean. Still, it is great progress!

Pictures here!

Bathroom, Oh Bathroom

Tile, check! Baseboards, check!
Now we just have to do the hard work.
Sam started putting up the backer board this past week. He also framed out a shelf in the shower area. Not easy work, but it's starting to get to there.

I guess we never took a picture when the backer board started to go up. This was just the first steps. Plastic and framing.

Here is the other slow progress that is taking place elsewhere in the house - the fireplace...will this ever be finished?

More scraping and washing.

Looking better every time. I ran out of paint remover though.

Just so we are all clear...this was not a good idea.

Family duties call! Gotta go.
