Remodeling - Day Sixteen

First thing we did today was head to Home Depot... We had to pick up 15 more boxes of laminate hardwood flooring, 1 can of paint for the living room, paper to protect the hardwood floor, painters tape and some cleaning supplies. We spent another 1100 bucks at Home Depot. Once we were done shopping it dawned on us that we had brought my Jeep instead of Harry's pickup truck. We managed to fit all the stuff we had bought, but it was quite a tight fit. Once we got back home we put all the supplies in Harry's truck and used the remaining space to fill it up with stuff that had to go to the house as well. We got to the house around 2 pm.

Once we had finished unpacking the truck we checked on the progress that our contractor had made. They had managed to get about half of the floor in the dining room done and it was looking AWESOME. We then had a quick bite for lunch and then jumped into painting.

I first taped off the remaining walls in the Kitchen. Once that was done I then started painting the remaining walls above the ledge while Harry started painting the walls around the window in the kitchen. We really like the color and it’s already hard to imagine what the kitchen looked all white. While we were doing that our contractor made a lot of progress with the floor and had sanded down the texture wall in the office.

After finishing up with a few minor touch ups in the kitchen Harry and I went to work in the office. By the time I tapped off the one wall and windows we were only able to get a little bit of paint on the walls as night was falling and there is no light in that room. Danny and his helpers stayed a few hours late so they could finish laying down the laminate hardwood flooring. They got about 99% of it done, still have a few things to complete but it looks great. We now have a beautiful hardwood floor in the TV-Room, living and dining room.

Tomorrow Harry and I are back for more Painting!!! We are sooooo over painting..

I will keep you guys posted on the progress !!
