Coming off a week of little progress, we agreed to tackle some odd jobs during our weekday evenings. We decided this week’s job consists of ripping out the hallway ceiling and ripping out the ceiling in our downstairs storage room in order to prepare for the electricians. We also decided to clear out our front living room in order to prep for tearing out the existing hardwood floors and prepping for scraping the popcorn off the ceilings. I’ve got one word for this phase of the remodel: BLEH. This is not fun work.
Last night as Scott commenced on tearing out the ceiling joists in the hallway, I tackled prying up hardwood from our kitchen. I’ve torn out flooring before with little effort, but this flooring is cemented to the floor with gallons of sticky adhesive. I was able to get about ¾ through with the job, but we still have hallway and decent size living room to tear out. My back hurts just thinking about it . . .
On the positive side, we really are making good progress. Once we finish some small framing details inside, we’re ready for the electricians and plumbing work. Thereafter, we’ll shove some insulation in the walls and start sheet rocking. I am hopeful to begin painting walls the last week of July.
