Home Improvements!

Postby Gaazy » Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:46 pm

So, like I said in the other thread, I just bought a house.

As soon as I bought it, i tore down a big mirror in the living room that was over the fireplace and what do I find? A leak and a big moldy hole in the wall. So I had to tear the wall out and rebuild it. I ended up finding a bunch of old pallet wood and some cedar my neighbor had left over from his deck and did it myself for probably a hundred bucks rather than paying someone a grand or whatever to do it for me. Check out me handiwork! I should have been a carpenter

After this guy today finishes sanding the hardwood floors in the house and redoing them, Im going to tile the whole front porch. F'n excited


Anyone got any home improvement stuff they want to share?

Grats on getting a house Gaazy. I don't care for the multi-colored pallet wood look, but you did a good job piecing it together.

I refloored the entire half of my girlfriend's house where we keep my son and his stuff. It used to be a disgusting rug ruined by animals.

I had more pictures of the whole process around somewhere but you get the idea of how it looks now. This is one of the rooms.

Yes, yes you did. You didn't make mention of how much you like hard wood though.

I made that mistake when I put those floors in.
