Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs

I hope you all like the upstairs – ha – that is going to be the theme for a while. I did not write last Sunday, I was beat and coming off of holiday weeks at work, I just didn’t have it in me. This week then will seem like a lot, but know that it is actually 2 weekends.

We did get the light up in the hall – a real cheesy one as I have to order one to match the others that we bought (I bought out all that they had in stock) the plus, that part of the hall isn’t dark anymore. This was the first time we had to wire a light that would be operated by two light switches (so a 3-way switch), not that it was hard, but had to actually think about this one, normal switches are “like tying shoes” for Chad. We did get the mudding started on the office walls and started to destroy Ciera’s bathroom. Now that might seem odd to have 2 projects going at the same time, but you have to let the mud dry for 24 hours, sand and mud again. This means, Chad has down time as “things dry”.

We did get the one vanity out of Ciera’s bathroom and had to move the drainpipe, why they had it on the far side of the wall we do not know, but now it is in the right spot on the wall and Ciera’s vanity is going to look gorgeous! We were also able to pull out the old closet in her bathroom and install the new cabinet. We are getting there, little by little. You will notice that some of the carpet is gone, we will get the tile down before we put in the new vanity so a little messy right now. Also, Chad closed off the old medicine cabinet (Ciera didn’t want it) so having to mud and tape/dry. It is a process, but know it is going to look great and I cannot wait to show everyone the after pictures when we get there.

Apologize for all of the pictures and missing last week! Happy New Year everyone! I almost forgot – all of the upstairs flooring was delivered on Saturday! YAHOO!!!

We have light at the top of the hall! you can see a little bit of the mudding here too.
mudding of the new walls – so exciting, but hate the waiting
Ciera’s bathroom before – the left-hand side is the closet, the medicine cabinet which is being eliminated and the vanity that is no more!
no more closet
see how the drainpipe is off to the right – why? Most vanities have the sink in the middle.
Water drain is moved! Problem solved!
New closet!
Upstairs flooring – we did bring it all inside to ensure no warping due to temperature changes (we won’t discuss what the living room looks like right now).
