We were busy this weekend! First, I hope everyone had a great New Year’s and that you are off to a great 2023.
We normally take any of the construction debris to the landfill on Saturday and they charge $25 for a truckload. We didn’t quite have a full truckload, so we hurried up and got the carpet removed from the stairs, the handrails removed and what I’m going to call the middle wall wood removed. (Making a good truckload). You will see in the pictures below why I’m calling out the middle wall.
If you remember from an earlier post, right now we are to be working outside as it is great weather. After our destruction, we did move back outside. We were able to get all of the landscape lights wired in, we ordered the rock so almost ready to put out the planters and plant the new shrubbery. Then all we will have to do is paint the house and we should be completed outside (until we start on the pool).
Stairs before – take note of the handrail…behind the handrail is a 2×4 board that they nailed to the wall. I kid you not the nails they used were like railroad ties (damage they made to follow).
I’m so glad we know how to repair drywall…those nails were CRAZY! (See picture below too).
This is the middle wall. If you look at the top, they had sheetrock here, but then notched it out to make the decorative board work. (shake my head). Then if you look at the bottom, there is no sheetrock there. That’s ok construction folks, we will do your job right!
