The floors are finished! Countdown to Baby 2012..... B-22 days!

October 31, 2012

We had a friend in town for a few days so I was pleasantly distracted from posting (and Alok was happily distracted from working).  Here we stand now:

We had a delivery from Lowes!  Doors for the apartment bath, hall closet, and basement and part of the floor trim.  So, that was pretty exciting!

 

New doors:

Alok's office floor was also laid and I finally remembered to take pics. Here they are:

Alok's office got all cleaned up and now includes a white wash clock that lights up, circa 1982.  Hmmm....

 Proud clock owner

It lights up..... wow.

Danielle visiting from California, stunned by the clock

You can't really see it, but the trim in his office was also pointed so it is now white instead of off-yellow (always a good change)

The bathroom in Alok's office, post cleaning:

Here was my office, which became home to all of the junk that was in his office:

Here is my office after my mom cleaning it:

 

There is hope for the house!!

A lot of progress has been made on the outside of the house, with only the front part really being left (and a bit of touching up). Fingers crossed!! 

The front room was also cleaned up to make room for this pool table that we bought on the "For Sale in Quincy, IL" facebook group :-)  

Now the living room is storage..... 

My mom also attempted to use a boiling technique to strip painting hinges. Let's just say that didn't go well.  

The apartment floors from Bayview Building Supply are finally finished! Here they are:

  

Looking good!!

 Here are the workers, resting on the couch. There are no lights in the attic, hence the creepy pic:

That's all for now! Happy Halloween!
