Six Months Later...

I have totally gotten out of the habit and have not kept up blogging. I had to look here the other day to find a video that Sully wanted to see and I realized what a treasure of memories we have here. I didn't want the rest of the story to be undocumented. So, I will try to keep with it. Keep on keeping on.

To make an attempt to record everything that has happened over the last 6 months would be impossible. I am reminded of the words of the prophet Mormon, "nevertheless, they cannot all be written in this book; yea, this book cannot contain even a hundredth part of what was done among so many people in the space of [six months]" (the "six months" is my addition) (3 Nephi 5:8). 

So, I thought I would compose a few themed posts to cover the highlights.

Today's installment: Reno-with-Roy Update

 

Roy prepping the concrete floor.

Sealing the stained concrete

I love it!

Testing out the movie screen  (we're missing the patio this time of year).

The painting of the basement

Finally getting rid of the butterscotch color

Paint makes such a difference!

Painting the baseboards

While replacing baseboards we found out why the girls' room is always so cold in the winter -  previous owners slapped the drywall directly onto the concrete wall on the east side in their room. Now we have another project...

Finished baseboard in the game room (the room previously known as the vampire room). Roy is a fine craftsman. Those corners are so precise I hardly had to calk. 

Next on the punch list: new door trim, build a linen closet (converting the closet on the left in the picture above), and new carpet.
