Don't try this at home.

Heavy duty soldering tools.

Here I am again with another update from the past week or so. Since we left off.....

We put in all the new vinyl floor tiles!



Almost done picture.Dad proved to be a man of many talents. He's an electrician...
And a plumber...
Here's the new plumbing for the bathtub/shower in the main bath.

He was also a sheetrocker. Here he's putting in waterproof/moldproof sheetrock that should have been put in years ago.

Mom turned into our sheetrock mudder person. She looks rather menacing.

The sheetrock sanding tool was fun. It had a vacuum attachment so we didn't get dust everywhere. It had so much suction that it stuck to the wall.
Mike also got to sheetrock mud the seams in the paneling.
Look how many patches were needed in the old green bedroom. That bulit-in-desk was once again glued, cemented, welded, tacked, stapled, screwed, nailed, and painted to the wall.

I got to do many jobs. I tore off all the window/door trim since we're getting new stuff. Not sure why I look so happy about it...
And help primer paint the bedrooms
Mom also helped primer the old "den" room.
See how fun it is?
I also got the den completely painted a few days ago. It is now light green. The pictures don't do it justice.

Almost done!
We also bought a new door threshold for the front door. Mike worked on getting that to fit and be the right size. I've started staining the bathroom cabinets and the old green bedroom is primed and ready to paint tomorrow. The new green bedroom (the old "den") is ready for floor stain, trim, and touch-up ceiling paint. The bathroom has been sheetrock mudded but still needs a few more coats before we can paint it. I picked out a kitchen paint color and hopefully we'll get to have that painted soon - our appliances arrive on Wednesday!

Look for another update after this weekend!
