Goodbye Carpet!

The walls are officially gutted! YEA!!!!  Except for one little closet that we were not going to do, but have decided to do, in order to put in a second laundry room, so we can have one on the second floor.  It was the only place we were leaving plaster, so it serves us right for being lazy and trying to cut a corner!

We were so excited about being done with the plaster removal, we celebrated by cleaning it all up and removing the carpet in the master bedroom and the landing.  The floors are so gorgeous!


We also worked on the layout of the bathroom.  We have been trying to figure out how we want to lay out the master bath.  With everything out of there, we were able to tape off everything where it would be to see if it would all fit.  It is a go!  The floor in the bathroom does not look as nice, but we are putting in tile anyways, so it just gives us extra planks to fill in bad flooring in other places if it is needed. 


An even more exciting tidbit of news is that we have a clawfoot tub to go in that nice little space in the photo above on the left side!  It is the perfect size, and I got a great deal on it.  I will have to purchase a set of claw feet, and re-finish it, but for only $75, what do you expect! 


Roger is coming down this weekend to help Mitchell remove the middle, unused fireplace.  We have no use for it, and it is just taking up space, so they are going to remove it before the roof is put on next week.  I know we need rain, but let's say a prayer that we don't get rain Monday or Tuesday so that we can get the roof on so we can remove the lovely swimming pool from our attic!

  1. You are so lucky to have a large space. But I can see that your roof is still not in place. Usually, spring is the best time for renovations because shingles need the warmth to adhere to each other. But if you are doing your renovations in the rainy season, wait for a day when there is less rain and higher temperatures.
