Renovating New House: Day 46

Day 46

31 JAN 2012

Today I got to the house about 10. I had to wash a load of clothes before I left. I started sanding the first stair and it looked like the sander was going too deep. I called hubby and he said he would come by on his lunch break and look at it. So I didn’t sand any more after that.

I went upstairs and started painting the bathroom. URG! I HATE painting! I had to tape the shower, the vanity, light fixture and then paint the wall close to the ceiling. It was very time consuming and annoying. I got the “fill in” painted and got the tape pulled off.

Hubby came in and said the stair I had done looked ok and that I could go ahead and do the rest of them. After he left, I started on the stairs. I got those sanded and another coat of poly on them.

Once I got that done, I went back upstairs to finish painting. I managed to step on the top of the paint lid, spill paint in the sink AND drop the radio in the paint bucket! All in a days work people, all in a days work! After I finished painting, I turned the shower on to rinse the paint and guess where the shower was pointed? RIGHT AT ME! I got soak and wet. It was like a cartoon in the bathroom today but the color turned out FAB-U-LOUS!!!!

Hubby came in after he got off of work and sanded the cabinets down. (The refrigerator would not fit so he had to sand down the “lip” of the cabinets for it to fit). After he got that done, we pealed the plastic off of it and he put the handles on it. Then we went upstairs and measured for linoleum.

I headed home and he peeled off the blue tape on the wall from where they marked the studs in the wall.

We also had to call today and tell the movers not to bring our household goods on the 7^th. We just will not be ready. L He scheduled it for the 17^th instead. It’s coming along pretty good though. Tomorrow will be another coat of poly on stairs and painting the bathroom. Or I might just do the stairs and call it a day. Here are the photos I have been promising y’all.
