Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

And another update... so damn close to finished.

Needed to pop the stair treads up to flush cut them so I can install the wall on the right side. Well the 50 year old wood had other ideas, so added another project. Whoops.

Then could finally finish some wall, last of the drywall hanging.

Onto the laundry area, to fit the sink washer and dryer have to move them against the left wall, which means moving the plumbing and drain pipe. I hate plumbing, but it doesn’t leak!
Ran the pex lines inside of a 2” pvc pipe to hide them, and installed a Norma washer hookup box instead of the big wood panel with pex all over it like before.

Moved the wiring and kept them below the top to conceal the wiring, ran a new dryer vent. Hung a clothes bar / shelf and bought a basic cabinet and countertop.

Friendly reminder to clean the lint from the inside of your dryer once in awhile.

In between coats of drywall mud and painting built a free standing shelf for over the units with the leftover wood pieces.

All the lines and vents are nice and hidden, and it will get a coat of white paint when I pull everything out to put the floor in.

Starting to come together finally. Couple more coats of mud then paint then floor, and it will finally be done. [emoji16]

My goal is to get rid of all dressers in the house... starting in the kids rooms.

Here’s the first attempt in my oldest kids closet. I tasked him with staining it last week.

Here’s the closet in my youngest Rugrats room. Everywhere was sold out of drawer slides but some I ordered came in today. Here’s where that one stands.

IMG_0808.jpg

I’m not a carpenter or builder by any means so this is a huge learning process for me, including down to what type of wood to use and how certain stains look on it. I used 3/4” red oak ply on the first one and 3/4” birch ply on the second.

First attempt at replacing a floor from the ground up. Didn't expect to do much work on the cottage, but it gave us some lessons on what to expect in the main house.

Looks great. A lot more moisture and humidity down there compared to Gavinland.

Just ripped it all out and installed new everything from the joists up. Worst part is that there's not a square corner in the place so adjustments had to be made going down the line.

The main house is gonna be worse, but I wasn't expecting to do anything other than cosmetics in the cottage until after we are done with the main house. Then my wife tells me she wants to change the flooring in the cottage too... Needless to say, I kept peeling off layers of 75 years worth of shit fixes until I got to the dirt. [emoji23]
