Mostly Done!

Except for a few minor things, the house is done! Our house was in disarray for almost a month, but now it looks lovely with all new flooring and baseboards. Here are a few pictures.

Dry Rot

Two words homeowners do not want to hear: Dry Rot.

Our contractor found dry rot under the toilet in the kids' bathroom. The wax ring on the toilet failed. Not a fun thing, but we are very grateful that our contractor pointed it out and fixed it for a very reasonable price.

Progress

Here are my floors today. Soon the tile work will be done, then onto new baseboards and carpet!


(And, yes, I know my toilet is in the hall. It will go back where it belongs soon enough.)

It Feels Like We're Almost Done, But We're Not

Here's how the house looks today. A lot of the tile is set, but what's not set will take longer. There are a lot of little cuts and odd angles. But our contractor promised he would be done before Christmas.

We'll see.

Slowly But Surely Sanity Returns

Thursday night.

It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better...

Here's how the house looked on Wednesday...

Let the Destruction Commence!

Yes, I feel like pulling my hair out right now...

We are having all the flooring on the ground floor replaced. Here's what it looked like Tuesday after demo started.
