Home Renovation Party

D's parents came Saturday to help with home renovations. At one point, I thought of the tv show on HGTV "In Over My Head" and I was hoping for that crew to pull into the driveway and take over and finish all these projects! For starters, the place where the new door comes into the house from the new attached garage, needed some work. We found that the old pantry was a built in, so new sheetrock needed to be installed. Sheetrock installed ready for mudding. First layer of mud on. Next project involved freeing 3 pocket doors that former owners had put linoleum up so far that the doors couldn't be used. My dad cut away the current linoleum and subfloor to find more...linoleum. Isn't she pretty?
Mom and Dad work to free the current linoleum in the entryway. And removal of linoleum in the kitchen.
I spread a solution to work up the adheasive and backing of the old linoleum to prepare the subfloor for new flooring.
In addition, Dad and Justin worked on taking out an outlet and installing a new one in a different location in the kitchen. Dad also installed a new outlet for the dryer as it will be moving locations. Justin also worked on a new dryer duct from the house to the outside of the garage. Stay tuned as the renovations continue!
