Tim, my sheetrock/spackler extraordinaire finished the ceiling in the living room and the center hall and is almost done with the dining room. He also got all the sheetrock up in the kitchen, WOW what a difference!!
Phil did some more sanding and got most of the stain done on the second floor, it looks awesome! Though people are asking why we went with a dark stain. I'm 99% sure that in the 1800s they did not have light oak floors. To us, this house should have dark floors as it would have back in the day. I personally hate wood, I hate "yellow" oak floors even more. The red mahogony stain we put on looks great and it gives the rooms a rich old feel. Trust me, the rooms are big enough to handle the dark stain and it really finishes the rooms!
Started painting the living room, didn't get very far. (a) painting over texture is an awful project (b) I am not impressed with the color choice. I'm leavin it for Turner. I did get the primer coat done around the big window and the ugly cheap panelling there (the rest of the room is "real" wood so that's stayin. Eventually this will be opened back up to french doors, but due to our contractor issues we've run out of any extra $$.
I started painting the dining room two shades of purple. WOW does THAT look nice!! The colors are awesome and I can't wait to get these last rooms done. We're at the home stretch now, I can taste the end, but just gotta get through the next couple of weeks!
Plumbing rough in is Thursday, that should go fine, which means we can close up the rest of the walls and start finishing stuff up for the C/O. YEAH!
I will be at the house all day Thursday if anyone wants to stop by and pick up a paint brush!!
Here's a couple of pics!
