Room remodel

Nice work! I don't miss doing remodeling. LOL. But its always cool to see the before/after.

That looks great Irving! Thanks for document and taking pics.

Nice and work indeed. Our bedrooms need updating but I really don't have the desire.

Thanks guys. Dave, I remember when you were doing your rental about ten years ago. I don't have a lot of desire for the project either, but each room that gets finished makes me feel good.

Thanks Irving for posting this.
I showed this to my wife. She is willing to help out on my next DIY.

Looks good.

I'll be doing some flooring soon. Hopefully mine turns out OK.

Thank you. A lot of beers were consumed over the course of the remodel.

Probably explains the floor shifting.

The first time around I used as many shims as I could (like those drywall screws) and only had issues getting some out. This time around I only had them on two sides and didn't realize that a floating floor floats to where you don't want it after it's way too late.

I've never done flooring like that . . . only a couple fairly small areas of tile. But that's the kind of thing I could see myself struggling with is trying to get that crap square over a large area. Turned out nice. Always immensely satisfying to knock something like that out while saving some cash.

I did a refinish of the stair rails and put in iron balusters a few months ago. Looks nice and saved a bunch . . . but man, was it a pain to sand, stain, etc.

I've yet to sand/stain anything, but I'm thinking we'll sand/paint the kitchen cabinets. Dreading it already.
