Further basement work...
ChadTower:
Wish I could say I've had time to do anything since my last update but I haven't... next house task is the bathroom. The wallpaper, cabinets etc are old and worn out. Have to pull the cabinets, relaminate the counter, yank down the wallpaper and paint, etc. I'll probably set of an antimicrobial fogger in there while it's all exposed.

I finally got back on my basement project this week. Did I say in the last post that I was finished painting? Well, I lied! ;D I never did the ridiculously tall and intimidating stairwell. I did all the patching over the week, and put up 2 coats of primer and a coat of semi today. I had to duct tape a broom stick to a telescoping paint handle to get all the way to the ceiling in the stairwell. And I never fell either!
I also ripped out all the carpet and tore out all the tack strips so we can get started on the underlayment this week.
Man, I will be so happy when this is done. I am sooo paying someone to do the work next time a major house project comes up.

Spoken like a true experienced home improver.
Unfortunately I will never remember to heed such excellent advice like that! :laugh2:

Major Home Improvements - no mas, no mas
I would just like to chime in with this - how come home improvement work doesn't equate to household chores. I've been sanding and painting like a fiend, plus I've been removing trees, bushes and shrubs and back filling clean soil in the backyard to prepare for my son's birthday party in 3 weeks. Yesterday I catch hell for not putting away the laundry and not doing the dishes this weekend. Somehow the 30 lawn bags in the backyard and the fresh paint in the basement don't give me a free pass on 5 minutes of dishes. I so wish there was a kick your spouse in the arse day.

I say the same thing after every project I do, and for some reason I keep coming back for more punishment.
