On Friday, the 2nd, demolition started on the office. We pulled up ugly orange carpet, pulled down old ceiling tile, and ripped paneling off the walls only to find good firring strips to attach the new drywall to. Bob and Bobby began on Saturday morning.
See that person in the bottom left corner. Well that is the supervisor that knows nothing about drywall. Thank goodness Bobby knows what he is doing. When he was done with the first layer of tape and mud, it was my turn to do what I do best....strip......the floor. The floor was one that had been painted around the edges and a rug in the middle before carpet had been put in. Tyler and I both stripped the mustard colored paint off. During the rest of the week, Bobby came over after work to add more mud and paint the ceiling and walls with primer.
On Saturday during the snow storm, he was over bright and early to paint and sand the floor. Look how far we have come. There will be wainscoating put up and the floor will be left natural. You that know me, know that is how I like it. The older looking, the better.
