Well, shortly after that last post about the staircase our house nearly exploded. Ok, not really, but it felt like that's what was happening.
Pretty much everything that could have broken, did just that. All at once. Here's the list of everything that broke:
Air conditioner.
Underground plumbing
Hot water heater
Washing machine
Dryer
Dishwasher
Upright vacuum cleaner
Shop vac
Globe on light fixture
Yeah, so needless to say, finishing the stair case got pushed aside.
Well, we're back on the stairs thanks to my Father in Law. He helped me blow some insulation into the attic recently and decided we really needed a railing up there. And since the flooring and drywall needed to be finished first, were only going to cost a few hundred dollars, and I wanted to do most of it myself, he said he'd pay for it. Woohoo!
So I went and got the floor. Unfinished yellow pine, oh yeah, $160. It took us about 5 hours total to put it in.
I had to use the unfinished flooring so I could stain it to match my stairs. I still have to fill some cracks and sand before I can put the stain on but holy crap things are getting done!!
I decided to wait for the walls to be finished before I put the stain on the floors. That probably wasn't the best idea, but too late now.
The guys showed up this morning and stamped my ceiling.
I have a ceiling!!
Maybe by the end of the week my walls will be paintable!
Later.
