Just thought I'd bring home improvement crew up to speed on my projects in the last few months. This is far from complete, but I figured I've made enough progress to start a thread up. Anyhoo, pics:

A few before pics

living room & Dining room

The super-awesome linoleum floor in the kitchen and laundry room

 

Next came paint. I don't really have any during pics of this, but I painted all the cabinets white and the walls a tannish color.

Then I tore out all the carpet and baseboard trim in the living room, dining room, hallway and closets. And ripped the shitty linoleum out of the kitchen.

Then after screwing the subfloor down and dealing with squeaks, I got started on the floors.

shit for a second i thought your home improvement included the linoleum floor

 

Floors are done, and I just finished off the baseboard and quarter round. I originally didn't want to do quarter round, but a few gaps at the floor/wall were a little too big and needed to be covered up. In the end, I'm glad I did the quarter round, I think it looks better.

Here's a close-up of the baseboard and quarter round I used. I still need to do touch-up paint and caulk up the joints.



New Door in


Door framed up and trim in

 

Some jerk-wad installed the bathroom sink clocked about 5* crooked. If you look at the first pic, look at the hole in the mirror as compared to the faucet. :doh:



There, that's better


New faucet? Sure, why not

 

I see my buddy in the door pic :thumbup:

Looking good, Davey!

 

man looks good so far. sweet cat :O

btw how much you spend so far?

 

This is more or less how it stands today. Pictures suck due to night/flash/P&S.

...and yes, I know my furniture sucks

 

is that a martin?

 

Thanks

Hard to say exactly... About $1350 for 500sf of floor, about $300 for random trim and lumber $25 in cabinet hardware $35 faucet, maybe $80 in paint.

So that's roughly $1800 so far. I'm still planning on doing counters, light fixtures and a few window shades (to cover up the horrible seal-failed aluminum windows h: )
