travis' brain dump

wow… wanna talk about busy? the last 13 days have been insanely busy… where to start?

aside from work being busier than the usual lazy day action, home life has been insane. got about 3/4 of that room done that i was remodeling… that literally ate my schedule alive. but, its almost done. here’s a couple pics.

before:

the room wasn’t too shabby, i just hated that wood board crap all around the room… and that drop ceiling? oh yeah, needed to die! the room also didn’t have any ceiling light fixture… so lame.

after (sorta)

still gotta put in the new window (this weekend) and put all the trim in (couple weekends from now) but its coming along pretty good… there were some errors in the drywall taping, but overall it wasnt too bad… not for my first go at this.

total left to do:

1) install new window, cleanup trim and replace around window
2) cleanup wall around closet, paint, install closet door
3) cleanup wall to left (of where pic was taken), paint
4) purchase crown molding and baseboards, stain, install
5) resand and stain the wood on the “ledge” around the room

*shrug* either way… one whole week spent working on the house, a full weekend of FFXI and here I am, tired as anything on a Tuesday… but i am recovering. i’ll probably finish up the rest of that room here in the next week or so, once things settle down. for now i need to get back to normal. well as normal as normal can be.

i’ll post more later.
