ugh...another long day, but got a shitload done. started at 9am, getting shit cleaned up since i was too lazy last night. about 1030 my buddy got over, chad came, got the electrical finished up, ready for devices to go in. we got old insulation ripped out, patched some holes in the outside insulation with some tape, got new insulation put in...got our vapor barrier put up, stapled in place, and taped the seams. then got all the drywall hung...i fucking HATE drywall. ive hated it every other time ive had to do it. it blows. but its done. we were going to put mud up today but we stopped about 630 to go over to our g/fs moms (hes dating my g/fs sister) to eat some dinner...got home, started to get stuff clean, then started to knock out getting the popcorn texture off the ceiling. told my g/f all she had to do was spray the water bottle and soak the ceiling and i would scrape it down. she got tired after holding the water bottle for like 3 minutes, so i told her she could do the scraping. HAHA. easiest way to get popcorn down? have someone else do it. i scraped it for maybe 5 minutes, then just stood there and sprayed the water up. also got the fan out of there so i can remount the box, clean the fan, and got the ground cleaned up. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3217.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3218.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3219.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3220.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3221.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3222.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3223.jpg?t=1272861078 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3224.jpg?t=1272861078

ive been waiting to do this since i moved in a year ago...was just more a thing of getting other things done first, and getting enough $$ together to pay for it all in cash and not have to do a HELOC or anything else where i was borrowing $$. hopefully it will add a bit of value to the house too, and when i sell it in 5-6 years i can make a little bit of a profit.

no wife. ha! live in g/f, but the house is all mine cabinet space will actually be more. before, for wall cabinets, we had a 24", a 30x18 (over microwave), 48" corner blind cabinet, then another 21 or 24" cabinet, then ~36" of empty space above sink, a 27 or 30" above dishwasher, and then a 30x15 over fridge...then we had a 24" base, oven, 48" corner blind cabinet, 12" base, sink base 36", and dishwasher now, for wall starting at fridge and going around, 30x15 over fridge, 27x30 wall, 36x15 over sink, 12x30, 24x36 corner cabinet (it'll sit 6" higher than others to offset), 12x30, then 30x12 over microwave. base will have fridge, 2-3" of fill, DW, sink base, 36" lazy susan, oven, and then a combination of a 9" base, 21" 3-drawer base, and a 36" base with a wide ass drawer. plus, we got 2 extra 21" cabinets im thinking im just going to put them together, mount a heavy duty frame and wheels underneath and make an island out of them, which would add a shitload more. and on the wall to the right of the back door (looking from front room, where most of pictures are taken from), there will be 2 36"w x 42" tall x 12" deep to form a storage pantry. i wanted to get an actual 24x24x84 pantry but if i put it on that wall, it would obstruct the walking/viewing lane from the front door to the back door...and i couldnt fit it in anywhere else that i felt would look good. more pics tomorrow edit - i feel like an idiot that i typed that shit out and realized i had the old pics up there. oh well...at least you know what size the cabinets are...haha

nothing really that we didnt expect that posed a large problem today after cutting out random sections of drywall, i finally just convinced the guy helping me that itll be much easier to rip it all down, put up new vapor barrier (instead of trying to seal it with the old shit) and get straight lines, instead of trying to cut around corners, use a shit ton of mud, etc. BIG thanks to chad (GTPnLS1) for coming out today and getting a little bit of the electrical knocked out before he had to get to work. i would not hesitate one bit to reccomend him to anyone else. he knows his shit, he takes time to explain the stuff to me (since i know 0 about electic work), just an all around great guy but today after we ripped out drywall on the sink wall and insulation, we were able to get the copper water lines run and soldered, got the drain line ran, which was fun...lol. not. but we got drain line, Y pipe, pipe to come to p-trap, vent pipe, and new 3" vent through ceiling. we would have reused the 3" pipe but while we were fitting pipes it fell through the ceiling...it fell between the 2 of us and didnt hit either...otherwise one of us would be fucked up right now so really not any good pictures, just some of the new sink plumbing. we got some shutoffs on them so we could pressurize the system to check for leaks...none! its a good feeling when theres no problems...*knock on wood* also got drywall ripped out from under the window so we can add another outlet and move the current one up, as there will be counters up to about 8" below that. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3213.jpg?t=1272765006 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3214.jpg?t=1272765006 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3215.jpg?t=1272765006 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3216.jpg?t=1272765006

i love when you hear one of those songs and it sends a quick chill down your back...fucking sick.

day 1 - 13 hours. got quite a bit done. had all the cabinets emptied out before we started...got the dishwasher, microwave, and oven out, moved fridge to the living room...removed all the cabinets and countertops, sink, disposal, etc...got the laminate flooring pulled up. started to scrape the linoleum underneath, and after an hour an getting barely any up, we said fuck it. started to pull the soffet out, which was fun...not. f'ing insulation everywhere... got started on building the frame to support the load bearing wall, got the 12' 2x10s and plywood sandwiched between to support the load of the trusses. first floor is now pretty much completely open. we left 30" of the wall so the left side of the fridge is mostly covered, and ive got about 14" on the opposite wall, about 2" more than what i had pics... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3196.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3197.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3198.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3200.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3201.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3202.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3203.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3209.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3210.jpg?t=1272690999 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3211.jpg?t=1272690999

29" thats a few years old. i just put it in spare room when i remodeled my bedroom and put a flatscreen in. $50. theres a pic of it in the thread selling my sisters couches and shit

no dry storage ftl

i cant help you with hooking it up, but i know my g/fs grandparents have a grill that runs on natural gas...so it is possible....its an old house too...no idea how long the grill has been there

so really you only wouldnt be covered in CA, OR, NV, IA, WI, IL, ME, NY, MA, RI, CT, NJ, MD. cover 75% of the country with UT and OH licenses

was that the same mascot that just did the backflip slam dunk off the ~20' ladder in the last few days? i saw a clip on yahoo last night

no problem. basically it says you qualified to get a utah CCW permit, and since ohio says they will accept utahs, thats all you need

yeah...its 3 weeks out...i may be ok. just dont want to commit and its $50 + like $62.25 for the permit you have to pay the state of UT

i have to see what my schedule is like. tomorrow im starting to rip out the kitchen and that wall i was talking about, and i have a feeling we'll get all the major stuff done in the next week and a half that im off work, but spending the next couple weekends on small stuff i do want to do this though. yes, it will be good for OH. i want it just for PA. stupid that FL honors OH, and PA honors FL, but PA doesnt honor OH. it will be nice though...theres places in pgh we go (like his parents shop where we work on the cars) that is one of the shittiest parts of PGH...think south of childrens hospital parsons rd shitty, then triple it.

lol. i wouldnt ever pay that much i can get you my guys number if you want. havent talked to him in ~1 year so i dont know how busy he is, but i know he was always looking for more work

i want to say like 21-22

clean as fuck

any idea if your discount is better than a business account at SW? my g/fs sisters ex bf is a painter and he gave me his company account number, and i still go in and use it and they dont say anything...i can get paint for like $17/gal

5/3 sometimes does stuff that annoys me, but ive been with them for 16+ years, and never really had a *serious* problem. just a few small things that got taken care of

hm...i may have to sign up for this...the only states i visit regularly are PA, SC, and FL, and with an ohio + utah, i'd be covered in all of them. ill keep an eye on this

110v? not going to call dibs, but depending on how i come in on my kitchen remodel budget over the next 2 weeks, if its still available, i may take it.

craigslist for anything you cant find. i just picked up a self propelled honda w/ a bag for $120 sunday paint supplies - buy new. its cheap. $2-5 for an angled edging brush, roller covers are like $5 for 3, a roller is maybe $8-10 bucks. buy a pan and a 10 pack of disposable liners.

bump.

another for yousef. did my old car and my g/fs, quick, inexpensive, great work and just so you guys know, quality window tint is no longer on morse rd by the storage units, they moved to that building on westerville rd just north of morse...its on the right after you pass the RV store
