House Projects

Nicely done B. Lots of earthy tones goin on in there, even your pewp will match! haha

Since that room is done, on to the next project, which will be a little bit more involved.

Master Bedroom/Bath

Recently all the carpet in the entire house was replaced so that portion is already done. What's left in the Master Bedroom is painting the walls, doing the best I can to remove paint from the trim from the previous owner. And a new ceiling fan as you can tell the current one is kinda bleh...

Bathroom, the linoleum flooring will be removed and replaced with tile. Haven't decided yet if I'm going to tile up the walls like I did downstairs, but I'm leaning towards not. New light fixture. Paint. New shower curtain rail (got one of those curved one from Menards for $10). New Shower head. And for now that's probably it.

So once again, my goal here is to redo this all to increase the value of this place a little bit more, but on as small of a budget as possible since I don't see any good reasons to do anything fancy since this is just a townhouse.

Here's the before pics. What you can't see in the pics is that the paint on the walls is pretty bad. Like he just did one coat, and didn't even attempt to keep the paint off the trim.

Demo complete. Time to go pick up some hardy backer and some tile :) Today is Sunday, and I can get some tile for, 88 cent, at Menaaard's, baybee!! :)

Prepping for tile. Got 2 sheets of Hardibacker down and decided to call it quits for the day.

Haha nice work!

Damn, you are doing work on that shit.

Nice work! Sounds like you have a good plan laid out for the house. keep us posted!

[Halon]

Hardibacker is done with the exception of having to finish cutting the hole for the toilet, but the battery on my saw/drill died so I'll take care of the tomorrow. Took almost exactly 3 sheets. Just need to screw it all down and I'm ready for tile :)

\Haha nice work!

Did you catch my Thai Mai Shu reference :D

Are you putting a layer of thin set between the backer and what is under it before screwing it?

[Halon]

I count on my cousin and uncle for technical advice. I don't remember if we had done thinset between the cement board and the subfloor the last time. What do you usually do?
