My House Remodel Projects.

[RX-7 Chris]

I like the inverted ceiling fan on the floor. Innovative.

LOL I was wondering how long it would take for someone to see that. We thought we would leave it there for future kids as a mary-go-round. Actually it is now sprayed with a brushed nickle look (instead of sponge painted sky blue) and is mounted back on the ceiling.

I'm starting to get the new stair designed and layed out.

[RX-7 Chris]

I'm working on getting parts ordered this week for the stair. I have to wait for my brother to bring his truck so I can make some lumber yard trips. He is comeing on the 21st and is bringing all the casing and some of the stair parts.

[RX-7 Chris]

I started on the project. I'll get pics up in the next few days. I pulled all the rails carpet associated with the stair to the basement/family room. I started scraping the popcorn off the ceiling and installed some recessed lights in the basement. Scraping the popcorn has to be the suckiest part. I also removed all the trim in the basement and moved everything out of the way to finish the ceiling projet.

Tonight and tomorrow night I will be finishing the ceiling in the basement, installing a phone line, installing 2 more recessed lights, and installing a tree in the yard. So I have 2 long nights.

Wednsday my brother is bringing all the parts that my Dad has, including casing, 4x8 sheets in 1/8" oak plywood, some treads, newel posts, and a bunch of tools.

Next weekend, I will be buying most everything for the project including making a trip to lumber liqidators in Lone Tree. I will also be installing blown in insulation in the basement walls.

I still haven't put pics of here yet. My wife was going to be the picture taker for this project but she keeps forgetting to take any (in school), LOL. I did take some yesterday that I will post tonight.

My brother and I did make all the trips we needed to. We made 3 trips to Lowe's, 2 trips to Home Depot, and a trip to Lumber Liquidators in Lone Tree. I now have a garage filled with wood. We also did blown in cellulose insulation in the basement on Saturday, what a PITA.

That is our only TV, lol. I use the workout bike but it isn't the mongoose, haha.

Between tonight and the end of the weekend, I plan to start patching holes in the sheet rock and get the light skip trowel texture done. I want to get most of it ready for paint.

I don't want new holes, I want the ones that are there to go away.
