I started on the other door, but I knew I wouldn't be able to finish in time for dinner. The things that needed to be completed in the front bedroom are just the door and the windows! We're THIS close to being done with it!
I finished what needed to be done on the mantle.
It looks really clean, sitting on top of the mantle like that!
The living room is almost done, too. The ceiling is about 1/4 painted and the walls are about 90% done. Once the bookshelf has had a coat of semi gloss, it'll be good to go! I'll be drilling in some PVC pipe ends that I cut with the miter saw to hold a rod that we'll be using as a curtain rod for the lower half of the shelf. We're hoping that separating it from the wall by painting it a different color will make it stand out a little more, and cause less of an eye sore.
Chris Samayoa came through to help paint. He finished the primer on the ceiling and started primering the stairway walls.
Sandra and Yvette cleaned out the apartment and moved all their stuff in to the house and garage. They were laughing quite a bit, so I wonder if I should be worried.
The bathroom looks REALLY nice with everything painted. Well, almost everything. I didn't have a steady enough hand to paint the inside of the window frame without taping it, and it was getting late the night that I had painted, so I didn't want to tape it and just leave it. The bathroom needs to have the 3/4 inch part of 3/4 pieces of the inside of the window frame painted, and possibly inside the built in cabinet. Grout, the vanity, and the mirror should be going in this weekend. The new light looks great in there. It's REALLY bright. I still have to get some wood for the door frame. I should get it sooner than later, so I can paint it before mounting it. Everything's just so much easier to paint when you can move it around (and nothing's next to or behind it!). About four more rows of tiles need to get laid down, then it's a wrap! We're getting pretty close to finishing. I'm pretty excited about it all.
I still need to figure out what I'm going to do about the kitchen sink. I got an outlet installed for the garbage disposal, but I forgot to get a switch put on it! I might have one just installed under the sink, so it's easier to deal with for now - no new holes in the walls or tiles. I also have to either get a new faucet fixture (something that has a pull down spout), or cut a hole in the sink to vent the dishwasher and garbage disposal. Like this one to the left.
