our remod ern el project skip to main skip to sidebar our remod ern el project tuesday march 31 2009 bathroom tile grout needed both of our bathrooms got their tile work completed this past weekend we are all extremely pleased with the work the pictures do not do it justice without the grout as it s really unfinished but we couldn t wait to show everyone what it looked like so far that niche is really orange by the way it appears to be almost red in the pictures posted by damon at 12 22 am no comments stairs removal we removed those horrible stairs that went up to the deck over the weekend except for the dirty brick it exposed i think it makes the house look much better these pictures also show the final stage of the porch that is ready now well besides the fascia and ice water shield that needs to be installed for the standing seam metal roof hopefully that will happen soon all things considering i think this is a wonderful shot of the house you can really start seeing the new shape of exterior things to come or at least i can posted by damon at 12 09 am 1 comment monday march 30 2009 framing up porch as mentioned in previous posts the porch idea was an idea of my father s as we brain stormed of ways to correct the problems with the original construction of the house due to the fact that on two sides of the house the second story did not extend over the first story and this caused all kinds of water intrusion issues he came up with the idea as opposed to framing out of the second story s exterior walls to extend the proper distance over the bottom story i really liked his idea as i saw it as another opportunity to add some character to a once bland and traditional designed house in retrospect even though it has pretty much doubled in the effort we thought it would take and quadrupled in what we thought it would cost i like my father s idea much better than the orginal plan it has added so much to the house but boy has it been a pita well look who it is myself helping my father finally got someone else to take some pictures for a change i think everyone was starting to wonder if i actually do work or just sit around bossing dad around my friend mettler helping my dad out thanks again mettler for all the help another late night shift i sure hope the neighbors don t mind one side finished and ready for the standing seam roof well the little side haha posted by damon at 11 22 pm no comments so after 2 months as you can see its a good thing we do not work at the same pace for which i blog quite a few projects have been almost completed over the last two two months we are almost done with installing the range hood www zephyronline com almost finished with all of the duct work and we are actually completely done with the living room ceiling fan modernfan com install awesome story about the range hood being that i am a ebay fiend and all i found the hood over a year ago and couldn t find it any cheaper than 1 100ish well i saved a search on ebay to notify me if any popped up and voila almost an entire year later i found this one brand new for only 600 another ebay story coming up about the kitchen sink soon posted by damon at 9 20 pm no comments monday january 26 2009 tile work underway the tile work got underway at the house i think honestly this might be one of the most exciting milestones when we finish there is going to be so much tile that it will make an enormous impact when complete i will be updating as much as i can to show the progress to be continued posted by damon at 8 05 pm 8 comments kitchen cabinets installed we got our kitchen cabinets installed we still have to have to have all of the drawers adjusted as well as the glass doors put on honestly we haven t decided on any of the pulls yet either i just had to get this far so tile work could get started i will admit it is nice to see them hung and anchored to the wall finally posted by damon at 7 49 pm 1 comment monday january 5 2009 ikea cabinet assembly well we started assembling the the ikea cabinets i am hoping to have all the cabinets installed this week or next i am leaving the doors up to the cabinet install guys i figure they do it all day everyday i d rather save my stress posted by damon at 1 29 pm no comments tuesday december 23 2008 drywall complete you hear countless times that once you have drywall the house starts looking complete i agree completely until i drive up and see the progress of the exterior being that the weather has basically made it impossible especially with me having like 0 meat on my bones we have switched our focus to the interior my father and i can t take the credit for hanging taping or floating the drywall as we contracted that out my father did do most of the final finishing on the drywall which i can t give him enough credit for don t get me wrong it was miserable as it took an entire week of him sanding me pointing out imperfections him sanding calling the crew the crap we found him sanding me pointing wash rinse repeat etc i am sure he hated doing it but at the end of the day i think he and i were both pleased with the outcome if i had just went with the work of the contractor and his crew it would have taken 3 times as long and i would have been absolutely unhappy while my friend from work who was actually a painter at one time was painting our house he commented that the drywall in our house looked like what he had seen in million dollar homes that sure made all that work seem worthwhile here are some drywall pictures posted by damon at 5 53 pm 1 comment how many elbows are too many i thought i would give the chuckster a challenge by asking him to mount my faucet spout and my valve control lever in two totally different locations long story as to why this is a great idea nonetheless it is after calling kohler we discover they recommend 2 3 elbows maximum we were at 6 before my dad solved the riddle rolled copper posted by damon at 1 50 am no comments news flash i know i really suck at keeping this thing updated i have so much on my plate that unfortunately this blog usually gets pushed to the back burner then the stove gets turned off then the bills don t get paid then the stove gets repossessed then the recession happens then all the ceos of big corporations get fat bonuses from the bailout my point is i try but cant seem to find time to keep this thing updated i do apologize please bear with me btw that was all just a carried away atempt at humor nothing got repossesed also i would like to add amanda and i each got an iphone so i will be mixing pictures from the new gadget with my regular digital camera pictures i know the quality between the two is quite a bit different but i always have my phone on me and seldom have the digital camera end of story posted by damon at 1 38 am no comments square bay window looking thing when we purchased our house we were well aware it was way to boxy looking very traditional as well with nothing to break up the lines after careful consideration and gallons of mt dew we decided on breaking up the corner with a square bay window looking thing forgive my lack of construction knowledge i am sure there is this great way to describe that better but as usual i am blogging after 14 hours of work so i am running on fumes as soon as someone is kind enough to tell me what to call it i will edit my post well even though my name for the project isn t awesome the outcome sure is well there it is 1 4 of the house wide open i will admit you have your moments of doubt about two people finishing this before the day s end this was at the end of the night all buttoned up time to go home approximately 2am the next day we begin on the other side last minute guilty as charged i decided to add another window to this side it turned out to be one of my favorite decisions so far as i felt this side of the house was looking a little bare the window was just an extra we had and didn t know where to use it posted by damon at 12 12 am no comments sunday september 28 2008 we have attic space kinda when we began re modeling building our house i was at time planning on redoing the roof in 1 2 years after completion as it was in decent shape our roof did have this completely ridiculous valley in it that i wanted taken out and a basic 4 hip roof framed out instead after mulling this over i decided it would be best to go ahead and have the roof re framed out now as well as a new roof put on not much point in running a marathon with flip flops on my father and i found a wonderful hispanic crew who framed out the roof in one day and did a greatjob i showed up to watch them hang off the side of the house like crazyed monkeys drink unprecedented amounts of rockstar jam mexican music and laugh at my father completely butchering their language ironically they have been the fastest along with providing the best workmanship of any contractors we have used up to this point i am hoping the contractors we use in the future are that good we also had a tree removal company come out and remove two trees out of our back yard i forgot to take pictures with the trees gone to show how much more of our house you can see from the road even though one tree was in the back and one on the side honestly tree removal isn t the sexiest of remodeling however it might prove to be the hottest as you can see we now have some attic space of course in the true fashion of how my father and i do things we open up the roof and attic space after we install the recessed lighting in the tightest and hardest places i think we have a genetic defect that causes us to do things the hardest ways i am assuming i inherited that from him that and i am only 5 6 postitve he gave me that too the guys also replaced the fascia boards which were rotten 1x8 and tilted about 30 degrees back with a new 2x6 that is straight down without the angle now they are like as opposed to before i am going to finish the fascia out with hardie trim that is 1x9 25 i always liked larger fascias and the cantilever fascia is going to be 1x9 25 so i really wanted them both to match posted by damon at 11 32 pm
