Pooped in it.
bought a new place and spent a few weeks undoing what the previous owner had done that i wasn't a fan of. every room had a wallpaper border that was removed. there were mirrors with no frames but stenciled borders painted around them that i didn't like so i took down the mirrors and had to repaint the walls. there were some places that the lady went a little crazy with the sponge painting. in the basement one of the walls had a wallpaper mural of a garden scene on the entire thing for some reason. then a few other things like painting windows and such that needed to be done. then i bought furniture since i owned next to nothing. still a good amount of little things to do but a lot of the work is done and most of the furniture is here
first some before and during shots
every cabinet in the kitchen had one of these by the knob. they came off with a little scrubbing but there are 27 knobs in the kitchen
master bathroom sponging. everything was sponged, even the back of the door. i just took it back to white
after 1 coat. ended up taking 4
sponging in the kitchen. pink and green. seriously?
this is the border that was in the master br. it was paint on top of a wallpaper border backing. it was awful to remove
and now some after shots
master br
master bath (formerly sponged blue)
and the sweet shower with 2 shower heads
guest room. i want to turn this into an office but i don't have office furniture so i just put my old bedroom set in there for now
my roommate's room. she moves in tomorrow but has some stuff in there now
main bathroom upstairs
living room. those tables are actually for the family room but the ones for the living room haven't come in yet
first floor bathroom
kitchen with awful stencils removed and pink sponging painted over
dining room
back porch
pantry
family room (half of the basement). i'm either doing another tv down there or a projector once my money from the government for buying a place to live comes in
basement bathroom
other half of basement
and a quick video walkthrough

Looks nice ^^^^^^
Well after my submission of an offer in February on a short sale I've finally got word...it's not too exciting.
Worked out a price with owner on property for 168k... then the offer went to the bank for a few months and they will not take less than the asking price of 200k. The house was originally listed for 250k then reduced.
uuggghhhh....what a process. I'm going to go look at it again this week to try and find some things that were unseen in the middle of winter: roof, exterior, pool, etc...

i installed my new dishwasher yesterday. dishwasher installs should be easy since there are only 3 things to connect. however whoever installed the tile decided to just tile in the old dishwasher. so after trying to fix the old one and then giving up we had to pick up the counter to pull it out. then to get the new one in we had to pick up the counter again and break one of the tiles on the kickplate that the tiler decided to extend beyond the edge of the cabinet. then we finally got to the fun of actually hooking up, which really wasn't too bad but after all that other stuff it wasn't fun

ha so get this today i heard from my dad he said there bees digging holes in the wood rafters for the main deck roof ill get some pictures of it this weekend
like this
My g/f's grandma's house has wood bee's digging holes in wood that the builder used as the base of the garage (encasing the garage door->untreated wood) So my job this summer after summer school is out is too rip the wood out and install treated wood after I kill those SOB's. There's about 20 that I counted thus far.
