Kale and Colten started the demo on his bedroom. First thing to go: the nasty carpet! After being lived on by two children and two dogs for 4 years...it was ready to be trashed.
They had to remove all the carpet, remove the tacking strips and sweep/vacuum all the staples off the floor.
We can't have our floors refinished until after all projects are complete so this is as good as its going to get for now.
Next step:
Fixing any cracks or holes in walls and painting the entire room!
Fun? ha! Hardly :)
I am starting to get the feeling this is a much bigger project than expected. The people who owned the home before us had repaired the walls incorrectly and now the entire wall (first photo above) has to come down completely and be drywalled instead. Kale is going to have fun with that!
So onto a larger demo than expected! Here is what an original plaster wall looks like when there is NO plaster!!
Scary right?
Kale and Colten have been working hard today. They have a lot of work to do before we can begin the fun part of this project!
I can't wait to post more about this crazy but fun project. Oh boy...the things Kale and I get ourselves into!
