That's a big project fo sho. See if she'll just go for some new drawer pulls and door knobs. Maybe something sleek and modern to get the juices flowing.
On. And off. And on again tonight. Half power for a half hour (refrigerator, fans, pumps don’t work). Back on now.You get used to it. Eventually. Don’t run out of cold beer and reefer and you’re good.
For the amount of cooking mrs random does, she needed a big modern kitchen decades ago. A few brushed nickel pulls ain’t gonna cut it
PS @Hardeaux is here you should come surf overhead blown out close outs with us in the morning. Or if it’s really an un surfable fluster cuck we’ll get breakfast on the boardwalk and watch the chaos

how long is he there for?
im in detroit
It was done enough to move in. Still plenty of little stuff to correct but the majority is done and turned out very nice. Well, good enough for the girls I go out with.
Sorry for my lack of updates. I will remedy that. I have a short vid I will share just to give a glimpse of the work.
Will try to post some pics this weekend also.
It was a big job. I didn't realize what a big deal it was until they demo'd the place. It was a complete redo.
First day in and this is just a glimpse. Wish I had the before shots for comparison but turned out pretty good.It was done enough to move in. Still plenty of little stuff to correct but the majority is done and turned out very nice. Well, good enough for the girls I go out with.

Narrow in the mid floor but the upper with the bedrooms is wider and the master bath and shower that looked like stir fried sh!t is now my pride and joy. I'll post that next once I get the vid loaded.
Well it wouldn't let me embed for some reason. Maybe youtube is still reviewing before it can be published?
Here's the link not sure it will work.
Awesome! Thank you for reposting this. I was trippin' when I saw this.It looks nice @keenfish
Curious how that shower/tub with the arched window turned out.
I scrolled back to find the 1st floor before pic to compare to the video.
The arch got cut out and turned out perfect. The oval molded tub thing turned into a Roman Shower. It's so much better. Night and day. Big improvement.
I'll get some shots and post them. Thanks!
Update.
Just before I did the backfilling:
A week or two back, the tomato plants we left in the ground went bonkers.
PS
Last weekend, repainted the entire driveway.
We finished our front yard driveway and landscaping. That was a pretty big project and we are stoked on how it turned out. We still need get boxes ready to plant a fall garden. At this point I'm getting tired of non-stop weekend projects, so I may just go with galvanized livestock troughs.
The circuit board in our beloved $500.00 Craigslist 6 burner Dacor Pro range bit the dust. Unfortunately, they stopped making these boards when Samsung bought them out. We were heart broken but it's not the end of the world, my wife's having a good year $$$ wise so we dropped some coin on a new Thermador 4 burner dual fuel range and Bosch fridge to replace the absolute POS Samsung fridge that conveyed with the house when we bought it. To make up the gap going from a 48" to a 30" range we also bought two new cabinet boxes with cool pull pullouts for cookie sheets, utensils, etc... I'll top them with butcherblock to match the box that was already next to the range being replaced.
We also redid the brick patio in the back yard and we are also doing a patio cover over it but have only put in post footings so far. Final design it TBD.
Every weekend it seems we are doing something to the place....

I'm eyeballing a late morning dropping tide session i think. Work a couple hours early, then head off to find good jetty for a few hours. wind will be straight offshore all day long it seems
New range arrived on Friday. Installed range and boxes on Saturday and the countertops on Sunday. Came out pretty good for a weekend DIY job. All I need to do know is tack in the toe kicks to match the boxes next Sunday and I'm done.We finished our front yard driveway and landscaping.

Nice. Drilling the holes for pulls and nobs always stressed me out. You got one chance to get it right. There's probably a bunch of inexpensive jigs available now that make this simple and easy but back in my day we used a combination square.
