Happy Anniversary!
This week marks the 3rd year of when we tore the roof off of the house. In honor of that mark, I am taking the week off of work and will be working on the house.
There is still so much to do, it was hard to decide. We decided to focus on the living room and atrium.
The first order there was to finish the underlayment as discussed in the prior post. This I completed about a week ago.
Dad came over for the week and we worked on the following:
Install a light outlet in a coat closet near the main entryway.
Drywall the closet. This needed to be drywalled so tha a door could be installed before flooring goes down.
We installed a door for the closet - that took some time as the studs were bowed and twisted. We finally got it whe we decided to use a left over door jamb and get that straight.
Finally came the flooring. Dad was able to borrow a flooring stapler. This has been a help as the staples draw the boards tighter than the finish nailer that I used in Sydneys room.
pics to follow.
