They ate their lunch right here, and labored till 5:00pm. After my expertise with the contractor again in November and December (which you can read about here), it was such a breath of contemporary air to be coping with individuals who really take pleasure of their work and have an incredible work ethic.
The corporate doing the work is a neighborhood family-owned enterprise. The daddy began the enterprise. He’s semi-retired now, and he handed over the enterprise to his youngest son. Many of the guys doing the work are brothers (except for one), and I can inform that they’re all very shut and get alongside rather well with one another. It was such a pleasure listening to them in there collectively speaking, laughing, and having a very good time, whereas additionally working properly collectively whereas additionally staying centered on the work and getting the job executed. The daddy, regardless that he’s retired, nonetheless likes to keep watch over his sons and the work they do, so he stopped by for fairly some time to oversee and ensure issues had been going properly.

Earlier than they bought right here, I took about 100 earlier than photos of the entire master suite suite from each angle I may consider. I’ve realized recently that I by no means appear to take sufficient earlier than photos of my rooms and tasks, so I needed to doc the whole lot. And whereas I used to be taking photos, I noticed what unhappy form the partitions within the closet had been in. It was a mix of tough areas left behind from the closets and trim that was taken out, like this space on the ceiling…
And all of those torn up areas alongside the underside of the partitions the place the baseboards had been eliminated…
Plus the entire unfinished drywall restore that was left behind after I requested the contractor to not come again in December. These seams on both aspect of the door had been actually tough with the drywall tape nonetheless exhibiting via nearly all the way in which down…
And these areas the place the washer and dryer are going had been an entire mess.
From distant, it’s arduous to inform what they seemed like. However up shut, that is what nearly the entire mudded areas within the room seemed like…
After which there have been the areas the place the closets had been torn out that hadn’t even been touched but.
Anyway, suffice it to say, the entire room was a multitude. So that they labored on the ground till 5:00, and so they bought the flooring put in within the lobby…
…the little hallway between the lobby and bed room…
…and the center part of the closet…
After which they bought many of the flooring minimize for the proper aspect of the closet, nevertheless it hasn’t been put in but.
I had deliberate to work on an out of doors undertaking whereas they had been doing the flooring, however the climate was nonetheless actually chilly on Friday, and nonetheless too chilly for out of doors work on Saturday as properly. So as an alternative, I spent the weekend doing the drywall restore within the closet. Drywall is my least favourite factor to do, however I made a decision to only get in there and get it executed. And by bedtime final evening, I had completed nearly all of it. The entire mural wall is now sanded and prepared for primer.
The tough areas on the ceiling have all been mudded, though I didn’t have time to complete the sanding.
The entire tough areas across the washer and dryer have been mudded and at the moment are sanded and prepared for primer.
The actually tough space on the ceiling the place the drywall needed to be eliminated for plumbing is now mudded (however nonetheless wants sanding).
However the partitions are executed and prepared for primer.
I used to be actually hoping that I may get the entire sanding executed after which get primer on the partitions and ceiling by the tip of the weekend, however I ran out of time. However a minimum of most of it’s executed, except for a bit extra sanding. As quickly as they’re completed putting in the flooring on this room, I can end up the sanding and get the partitions and ceiling primed after which begin testing out some paint colour. That would be the thrilling half! I’m utilizing that to encourage myself, as a result of I’m so able to get to the enjoyable stuff!
Talking of paint colours, I made a visit to House Depot to purchase the entire primer I would want for this room, and I took my wallpaper with me in order that I may choose up some paint samples. I walked away with two paint samples for the closet cupboards, and I hate to disappoint, however neither of these had been coral. After seeing some mockups that my mother did for me with varied paint colours, I’ve determined to go a unique route with the colour of the closet.
