Remodeling

We are currently remodeling our home! Of course I have the benefit of not having to pay a remodeling contractor to complete my remodel project. Yet in some ways I wish I could afford to just pay someone else to do the work. I enjoy the working with my hands, using all my tools and skill sets but I'm just one guy remodeling an entire house! It's taking way longer than I would like. It doesn't help that I'm a perfectionist and insist on doing everything the correct way! Today I was framing up a new wall to remodel out kitchen and the kids bedroom. Sometimes removing a wall and changing the framing can be the key to making the most of your homes square footage and layout. We removed one wall in the bedroom and added a second wall creating a much larger bedroom and a more useful kitchen cabinet wall area. We also re-textured all the walls in the living room with a skip trowel drywall texture! We re painted the walls and sprayed the ceiling with and airless paint sprayer. I primed the walls with kilz then lightly sanded the walls after that I painted my first coat nice and light and then sanded again to create a super smooth surface and promote greater paint adhesion lastly I applied the topcoat. We are installing wall to wall laminate flooring and new baseboards. I will continue to post pictures and updates of our remodel as the project moves forward!
