i am taking over the mortgage of Uncle Rich's house. Before i can move in, repairs need to be done. Dad and Mr. Griffin are doing most of the "heavy" stuff. Uncle Rich had a few seizures that had left holes in the wall board, so they have replaced those pieces. they have taken off the batten strips that cover the joints of the wall board, filled the cracks with spackle and sanded and i have primed the vinyl walls. i've texture painted the living room and kitchen. the kitchen has been painted...mostly...with semi-gloss "sherwood green" Dutch Boy paint. Mom did a bunch of the cutting-in. the guys are at the house installing new carpet today. yesterday was the ripping-out of the old carpeting. funny thing is, the new is almost the same color as the old. the old living room carpeting was pretty stained, so new stuff was important!
there are bundles of gorgeous oak laminate flooring awaiting installation in the kitchen. i am hoping to be a part of that installation.
we're on a bit of a time-crunch, as mom and dad take off for parts south of the Mason-Dixon line right after Thanksgiving, and i can use his help as long as he wants to offer it!
i will get pictures online when i can. the place looks pretty jacked up right now, but it'll be pretty soon!!
