After the race we headed to Garvin to get our work on. We burned some refuse, used a bit of liquid nails and caulk and then Randy tackled the old shingles on the back of the garage while Ankeet manned the paint sprayer:
Meanwhile I finished pressure washing the screened porch and brick and then headed inside to work in the floors and finish knocking down ceilings. I'm prying up the carpet tacking strips so that the floors can be refinished. I think they will look nice:
I also removed the linoleum in the laundry/pantry. I LOVE the old porch boards; looks like the exterior is thin slats under all of the siding; I wish it was exposed!:
Some nastiness:
This is the view from the kitchen. I think the MDF is where the old back steps were. We will probably run a different flooring wall to wall in that space the same width as the washer/dryer (stacked) that will be immediately to the right when you walk through this door. There is some seriously ugly layered linoleum in the kitchen:
Here is a close up of what is under the linoleum in the potential second bathroom, love again:
I'm so pumped that there is so much wood! Finally, the garage after it's first coat;
So the idea is that the tan part of the porch at the bottom will be the same blue with all of the trim staying white and then the red flashing on the main house being blue too. The whole inside of the porch will stay white. I wish the color was closer to a midnight blue, but it will do.
We finished up the day by starting to take down kitchen stuff so hopefully we will finish that up tomorrow.
