Cork Floors

Cork floors be going down and shit. it's the cat's pajama's meowing bee's knees! photros coming soon!

p.s. double check your measurements when figuring out how much flooring you'll need. i came up short and come to find out i needed 600 more bones to pony up to finish my floors! boo on me, yay for the economy!

Thanks Mom!

Cool vintage book from 1952 my Mom gave me!

Happy New Year! Subfloor repair

upon removing the carpet in the master bedroom, i noticed some of the subfloor was pretty bad off. the previous owners had correctly repaired the subfloor in the bathroom (caused by a water leak), but i guess stopped at the bedroom. luckily it's not much to repair and will tackle that this afternoon. Also I'm reusing the trim to cut down on resources (which I labelled on the back to identify where each piece goes). I'll just sand them, prime and paint with no VOC paint of course!

So I've been installing the cork floors

New Sconces

Bought some new sconces for the entry way. These are some cool lights.
They only accept 3 prong CFL's and automatically come on at night
(unless I turn the switch off inside)

Removing Fake Shutters

Oi! Who in the world thought of fake shutters? One of the most
disgusting "embellishments" of modern home design. Okay they aren't
that bad but I find them highly annoying. So off they come!

And the walls come tumblin' down!

Making room for my big 'ol Buick!

Garage Door finally installed!

In less than 5 hours a one man army by the name of Tony installed my 18' wide x 7' tall garage door all by himself. He did an excellent job and was very nice, explained everything and was very professional. Thank you Lowe's!
