Now back to the real work...
Kade started drilling another hole in the foundation this morning. Hoping we can finally finish up the water lines in the basement. (We still need to hook up the cold water to the clawfoot tub, didn't get that done today!)
Look at him go...who uses a level beside their drill?
So this is where we're at in the basement. Before he got the hole all the way through he decided that we needed to finish framing the basement first. SO...now THAT is what we're working on!
There really aren't many walls left to frame...just some awkward things...
like that duct work up there!
Hopefully in a month this space will look completely different!
We also got all of the doors installed upstairs.
(and by installed I mean put back on the hinges, lol)
I tried to tape off trim today too so I can give it its final coat of paint soon!
I can't believe these rooms are just about done!
The middle bedroom just needs the trim touched up and it's DONE!
Oh my....just look at all of that trim that I still need to touch up!
Oh...and one of the most exciting doors...THE HALF BATH!!!
The only bathroom we've been using for MONTHS, and it finally has a door!
Since this weather is still so amazing I decided to fill some holes we've got on the porch.
The house has had termite damage in the past (remember...we fixed that a LONG time ago)
I used some Great Stuff - foam to fill the empty spaces where they drilled to treat for the termites....leaving enough room in the top of each hole so that I can use cement & mortar for a better final appearance. Why didn't the people that did the treating actually fix the holes that they made?
Here's a funny pic. I had to "shake" the great stuff for a minute or something to get it all mixed together. I was just too tired today, lol, so we put the can into our paint shaker and switched her one :) Worked like a charm! I need to remember that for mixing spray paint, etc. ha ha!
