Remodeling.....the nasty begins
We ripped a three level deck off the house and put on an entirely new 2 levels and has gone well....We ripped out 6 windows, redid them, all looks fantastic. And yesterday we emptied the kitchen cabinets. Today is demo the kitchen day....now shit gets real as they say. Will have electrician in weekend to do his magic, then drywall and get started on that part, all has to be done for Cabinet install July 16, hope countertops can do a 10 day turn and give s our life back.

Marrried since 73 but its like walkin on eggshells round these parts....


Survival tips?

Correct. And yes, Pomeranians are awful, we had one for a short time years ago that was a straight up asshole. Luckily (for the dog) the Mrs found some sucker to pawn him off to even though she spent several hundred dollars on the useless bastard. This one isn't quite as bad, but still a shithead.

We started with just changing the bathroom around to be wheel chair accessible.

My wife was 4 months pregnant at the time so we thought we'd add a couple bedrooms.

We ended up with a bedroom turned into a bathroom , old bathroom a hall. 2 new bedrooms downstairs, and a ****ing whole second floor

Start pulling on the string, and the entire ball of yarn starts to unravel.

“Might as well do it while we have everything tore up”. Words that are good advice, but makes a wallet cringe.

This shit sucks. And has ruined my good vibes for the last like 7 weekends in a row. Tore it down to the studs and ran new plumbing and electrical, the whole shit works. She thinks she wants to tackle our dated kitchen next, but I might end up murdering her if she ropes me into another project within the year.

I am no master crafstman so her poor dad has been down here helping me with everything and hating his life as well.
Take bids on the kitchen from contractors. That will shut her up.

Realistically though, you want the cabinets straight and level and it takes some skill and technique. Other than setting the tub in a bathroom, nothing in a bathroom is as unforgiving as mounting cabinets. Especially if nothing is straight.

Yeah, any time dad gets the bright idea to change something around at the farm or some house besides his, I immediately ask him if he's ready to drop 6 figures. That usually cools his jets. Because he knows I'm right.

We ran into this problem when we were looking to build.

I had a budget of 500k total for everything. The wife met with a builder then an architect.

The. She designed what she wanted and it ended up being well over a mil.


Long story short we didn’t build

Took all of 6 hours for the total removal of the old....

Today we get the old tile off and begin drywall repair, Saturday we wire for new appliance locations

Cabinet guy coming, have a redesign....we found pipes we were not aware of and have to build around that....

Damn, those cabinets weren't that bad. Ours were a similar honey oak before I refinished them. Countertops looked decent too. Tell them to put everything back!

I'm guessing the pipes you're talking about is that ductwork up top? Ugh. I'd get rid of that popcorn ceiling while you're at it. Those are the devil.

I forget - did you end up gel staining those cabinets or did you go with new?

COOL! The old kitchen has the cottage cabin look and feel.

What are you going to do with the hardwood floors? Sand and refinish or sand, stain and refinish or just buff them out?

What is the new look you are going for?

I did the same gel stain you used. There was waaaay too much nice oak in there to tear out. The former owner had to have spent a small fortune on it.

The kitchen was just a facelift, not a total gut and remodel. Just refinished the cabinets, new countertops, backsplash, floor and appliances. Still a fair amount of work though.

The garage however, was pretty much everything. Tore off what was left of some shitty old paneling, patched about 20 some holes in the ceiling, new drywall on all the walls, added switches and outlets...pretty much everything you see is new except the garage doors, those I just cleaned up and painted, tracks and all. I spent an incalculable amount of time in there.

The shed ended up being so bad I probably would have been better off tearing it down and rebuilding. But I was too far into it before I realized that, so I've had to spend a lot of time trying to make as much as I can work and it will still never be right. Hell the goddamn thing is four inches out of square, pretty damn hard to cover that up.
