Grasp Bed room Suite Progress!! (Flooring Progress & Prepping For Paint)

I’ll simply warn you proper up entrance. Whereas there was some actually thrilling progress in our master suite suite (thrilling to me, that’s), the photographs on this submit are in all probability not going to be very thrilling to you. 😀 However I’m going to share them anyway. It’ll be like visiting with a brand new mother who needs to indicate you all the 150 footage she’s taken of her new child over the past 24 hours, when you sit there making an effort to maintain a pleasing smile in your face whereas considering to your self, “Two or three footage would have been sufficient.” 😀

Anyway, the flooring guys advised me that they might be right here at 9:00am on Friday to get began. They confirmed up at 8:50am, walked via the door at about 8:55am, requested a couple of questions, and received proper to work. They didn’t even depart for lunch. They ate their lunch right here, and labored till 5:00pm. After my expertise with the contractor again in November and December (which you’ll examine right here), it was such a breath of recent air to be coping with individuals who really take satisfaction of their work and have a tremendous work ethic.

The corporate doing the work is an area family-owned enterprise. The daddy began the enterprise. He’s semi-retired now, and he handed over the enterprise to his youngest son. A lot of the guys doing the work are brothers (aside from one), and I can inform that they’re all very shut and get alongside rather well with one another. It was such a pleasure listening to them in there collectively speaking, laughing, and having a great time, whereas additionally working effectively collectively whereas additionally staying centered on the work and getting the job accomplished. The daddy, despite the fact that he’s retired, nonetheless likes to control his sons and the work they do, so he stopped by for fairly some time to oversee and ensure issues had been going effectively. You possibly can inform that they’re all salt of the earth type of individuals, so if you happen to’re within the Waco space and wish flooring put in, I extremely suggest them. The corporate known as Valdez Ground Masters.

Earlier than they received right here, I took about 100 earlier than footage of the entire master suite suite from each angle I might consider. I’ve realized recently that I by no means appear to take sufficient earlier than footage of my rooms and tasks, so I wished to doc all the things. And whereas I used to be taking footage, I spotted what unhappy form the partitions within the closet had been in. It was a mixture of tough areas left behind from the closets and trim that was taken out, like this space on the ceiling…

And all of those torn up areas alongside the underside of the partitions the place the baseboards had been eliminated…

Plus all the unfinished drywall restore that was left behind once I requested the contractor to not come again in December. These seams on both aspect of the door had been actually tough with the drywall tape nonetheless exhibiting via nearly all the way in which down…

And these areas the place the washer and dryer are going had been a whole mess.

From distant, it’s onerous to inform what they regarded like. However up shut, that is what nearly all the mudded areas within the room regarded like…

After which there have been the areas the place the closets had been torn out that hadn’t even been touched but.

Anyway, suffice it to say, the entire room was a multitude. In order that they labored on the ground till 5:00, and so they received the flooring put in within the lobby…

…the little hallway between the lobby and bed room…

…and the center part of the closet…

After which they received a lot of the flooring lower for the suitable aspect of the closet, nevertheless it hasn’t been put in but.

I had deliberate to work on an outside challenge whereas they had been doing the flooring, however the climate was nonetheless actually chilly on Friday, and nonetheless too chilly for out of doors work on Saturday as effectively. So as an alternative, I spent the weekend doing the drywall restore within the closet. Drywall is my least favourite factor to do, however I made a decision to simply get in there and get it accomplished. And by bedtime final evening, I had completed nearly all of it. The entire mural wall is now sanded and prepared for primer.

The tough areas on the ceiling have all been mudded, though I didn’t have time to complete the sanding.

The entire tough areas across the washer and dryer have been mudded and at the moment are sanded and prepared for primer.

The actually tough space on the ceiling the place the drywall needed to be eliminated for plumbing is now mudded (however nonetheless wants sanding).

However the partitions are accomplished and prepared for primer.

I used to be actually hoping that I might get all the sanding accomplished after which get primer on the partitions and ceiling by the tip of the weekend, however I ran out of time. However no less than most of it’s accomplished, aside from a bit extra sanding. As quickly as they’re completed putting in the flooring on this room, I can end up the sanding and get the partitions and ceiling primed after which begin testing out some paint coloration. That would be the thrilling half! I’m utilizing that to inspire myself, as a result of I’m so able to get to the enjoyable stuff!

Talking of paint colours, I made a visit to Dwelling Depot to purchase all the primer I would want for this room, and I took my wallpaper with me in order that I might decide up some paint samples. I walked away with two paint samples for the closet cupboards, and I hate to disappoint, however neither of these had been coral. After seeing some mockups that my mother did for me with numerous paint colours, I’ve determined to go a unique course with the colour of the closet. I’ll share these later this week, together with the 2 samples I did decide up as quickly as I’ve a chance to truly paint these samples on the wall within the closet, and I believe you’ll in all probability agree that this new course is a lot better. So keep tuned, as a result of we’re proper on the cusp of the enjoyable stuff!
