Snowflake Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ive been working on the house alot lately because I got nothing else to do and I stopped smoking the MJ which keeps me off the couch... These pics are of my half bath I started a while back and am just about finished. Just alot of touch-ups and I have to paint the ceiling. I did all work except set the toilet and all ideas were mine what we did. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jeepgclwj/house001.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jeepgclwj/house002.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jeepgclwj/house003.jpg I bough replacement windows to change out all windows upstairs and I did the first one yesterday. I had to convince my girl that I could do it so she gave me a shot instead of paying to have it done. I think it turned out great. Took me 3.5 hour to get it this far. The outside is caulked and the trim is ready for bright white paint. The inside only need to be trimmed out. It is plumb and level and opens and shuts with ease... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jeepgclwj/house005.jpg this one shows the differance between new and old... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jeepgclwj/house007.jpg and last I just grouted this floor a few days ago and I have some more cleaning to do with it. I have a long way to go with this bathroom... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jeepgclwj/house006.jpg its all starting to come together...

Snowflake Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nice. I love the wainscoting. yeah I think it really set it off. I didnt have it originally and after I finished painting the walls I figued on using it. Could have used half the paint if I had thought it out a little more but Im coolwith it. Ive never really done any type of remodeling except electricial but because of all of the custom homes Ive wired Ive been able to get alot of good ideas. Just like the crown molding in the bathroom. I tacked up a small cheap molding and then dropped down a few inches with some half round and painted it all white to make it appearto be nice crown molding. I learned that from a custom home builder in New Albany. He does it to all his homes and it turns out great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you see it alot in homes with high ceilings. I had a home owner accuse me of being cheap when I suggested it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather go cheap on something like that that you really dont know the differance on visually and spend good money elsewhere... I want to do the whole house like this but we will see.
