Welp....help.
Is it Friday yet? grins. Wish it were. Tis easier for me to take the week-ends right now than a week day with all the dust from remodeling. Sigh. This too shall pass. I keep imagining when the room is finished and tidied again. There is HOPE it will happen by the end of October. WISHFUL THINKING perhaps. Wood flooring comes in October 2nd, but first the underlayment must be laid. Shutters come in November 2nd then installed. Perhaps then I can go ahhhh just in time for THANKSGIVING. What a blessing to have all of this completed by professionals.
Before dishes and glassware return to the china cabinets all will have to be washed, dried then placed inside cabinets that will have to be cleaned as well. SPRING CLEANING in AUTUMN.
The ceiling that's up has to be installed, taped, patched, SANDED, primed and painted. The white powder goes everywhere when sanding even when plastic is hung up to contain dust in one area. Coordinating when the floor layers come to avoid the painters has taken some effort. Hubby has coordinated this like a pro.
Dishes and glassware removed from furniture.
Shuffle furniture out of Living room
meaning the Entry way, Dining room
and Kitchen are crammed with items.
Hubby puts 18 pounds of special screws
into old sub-flooring/underlayment.
Floor layers came in to lay the wood flooring
which still had a squeak when installed.
Decided to change type of flooring.
Decided to lay another sub-flooring down.
Floor layers will return.
Painter's tape a plus.
Painting trim and windows before new shutters
are installed in November.

Oh wow, this is huge!! you are even getting a new ceiling! It is going to be wonderful and maybe even worth all the dust and cleaning. :-))
Thanks for stopping by. Restoring is a process for sure. It will be wonderful when completed and I keep telling myself this. It will be wonderful!!! grins and pass the broom. If I look at this all as if I am taking a break from a normal day then I relax a tad. It is messy around here and that's the way it tis for the time being. I'm staying busy doing other things like laundry, filing papers, putting things away in the bedrooms, etc. I haven't stopped JUNKIN' . Bought another doll and clothing that fit in the upstairs closet. My bedroom is now the temporary office. Doesn't take long to have a pile of papers to deal with. Life is good and I will be so happy to have the Living room and Dining room like new. Still don't want to go through this again. Blessings, d
Did something bad like a water leak happen? I thought your living room and dining room (as well as the rest of the house) were incredibly beautiful.
Thank you, Sue. When you look up close and personal verses pictures things come to light that the camera may not capture. The plaster ceiling was cracking. Thought it best to put up a sheetrock ceiling and the timing was right. The pine floor was the sub-flooring from previous years that laid under old linoleum. To make the floor more substantial, we are adding additional flat and smooth sub-flooring over the old sub-flooring to kill the squeaks before a better wood floor is laid. It will be structurally stronger and easier to deal with then the old pine underlayment that was there when we bought the house. I have enjoyed the red walls while we have lived here for about a year and a half already, but we decided to paint the walls a fresh coat of paint before the new wood floor goes down and shutters are installed in the windows. Putting our personal touch on our home.
Oh, that's good! "Personal touches" seem so much more positive and uplifting than "damage repair."
You really do have a gorgeous house--like Architectural Digest level gorgeous. It's a joy to look at your pictures--I hope the house brings you and your family much happiness!
Thank you, Sue! Personal touches needed. May the home bring happiness and much joy.
That's a powerful comment about Architectural Digest gorgeous.
Very nice of you.
