Today Harry and I had to get up super early (well for us) since Living Spaces was going to deliver our furniture between 9.30 and 11.00 am. So we got up by 8 am, packed up the truck and left for the house. Shortly before we got on the freeway I got a call from the delivery guys just to confirm that they had the right directions to get to our house in Agua Dulce, they had already left so we were racing them to the our new place. We got to the house a little before 9.30 and a few minutes later the delivery guys from Living Spaces showed up. We had them put the furniture in the one car garage, since the remodel isn’t finished yet and didn't want it to be in the way. Once that was done, Harry and I unpacked his truck and checked on the progress of our contractor.
To our surprise he had finished framing the fireplace and it looks FANTASTIC, and it's not even stained yet. It will be absolutely gorgeous once it is stained. Danny still has to grout the master bathroom and the tiles on the fireplace.
After admiring the fireplace, we started to pull the trim tape in the Entrance and Kitchen, and there were quite a few places where some touch up work had to be done. I started with that right away. Harry started painting another coat in the master bedroom. He went pretty fast doing it by himself. After that he went into the office to pull of the tape and again there were a number of places where some touch up work was needed. Once that was accomplished I taped off the ledge in the office and we started painting the ledge with an accent color. We choose to use the main color of the bedroom as accent color for the office and it looks quite nice. Once we were done with that, we painted the doors of the closet in the accent color as well.
During that time our contractor was busy redoing the baseboards. He made some progress but still has a long way to go. I really don’t think that he will be done by tomorrow evening as he has said. I have a feeling that it is going to take him at least 1 day longer. But we’ll see about that.
After we were done painting the closet doors in the office, I finished some touch up work, while Harry went into the bedroom to pull off the tape. Again there are a number of spots that need some touch up work, but we have come to expect that now. After that I started taping off the accent wall in the bedroom and Harry started painting the trim. We have decided to paint the accent wall in the master bedroom in a very dark red and it looks AWESOME. But it will take at least 1 or 2 more coats of paint until the wall is completely colored. Once it is done it will look amazing. If I could have my way, I would have painted the entire bedroom in the accent color, but Harry said it would be too dark for him.
After we finished that wall we were tired, it had been a long day so we headed back to the rental.
Once that was done we pulled out the closet doors and I started to paint one of them while Harry started painting the inside of the closet. After I was done with one door Harry took the second door and I continued to paint the inside of the closet. We had just enough daylight left to get done with the second coat of paint on the closet doors.
