Well not really demolition , but we started the day out removing all the fixtures, faceplates and wall/window decorations. Amanda spent some time patching the holes left in the wall by the previous owners.
Jess came by to help and she did some sanding and removed all the crazy child proof hinges on the kitchen and bathroom drawers. They were such a pain and its nice to know they are all off!!!
Amanda did her favorite part and the part she was most looking forward to doing, cleaning the bathroom and the shower. It was quite a task but with the help of her new cleaning tool, which resembles an enlarges and glorified electric toothbrush, she got it pretty clean!!
Then came carpet removal. Amanda's father, Tom, removed the molding and I began tearing up the carpets and rolling them up along with the foam that goes underneath, dusty process -> kid with asthma = must wear a dust mask!! Eventually I got all the carpet up and was left with tons of little staples to remove, and what a perfect time for Alicia to show up and help jess and amanda pull staples!!
The day concluded with tearing out the hallway closet and removing the molding from the master bedroom. Also, the ladies washed all the walls to get ready for paint!!!
We had a nice visit from Rob & Val after lunch and it was nice to show them around the new place, and I knew Rob would appreciate the bar downstairs.
on a side note, my partner in crime has had a little cold, but she isnt letting that stop her hard work and determination. We had a very nice valentines day dinner last night and had a fun day today, including a bartenders bible and book of shots for me (and some chocolate) and a nice display of flowers for her!!
More pictures are on facebook.
Floor delivery tomorrow morning!!!
see you then
