We closed on the house on Feb. 23rd. Since then we have had done:
Electrical Work - throughout...groundings, running new lines, etc.
Hardwood floors - downstairs, and the 2nd floor.
We (including HUGE help from family) have done:
New locks front & back doors.
Living room - patched and painted (25 x 12ish) - including trim and ceiling. The walls were a mess...this was a lot of patching! Fixed around the built in A/C & removed cover to spray paint.
Stairs - were refinished, but also sanded & primed the banister, rebuilt & patched a hole in the swoop above.
Kitchen - patched, painted - 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of wall color. Ceiling, trim, primed radiator...primed & first coat on the outside door, purchased knobs, new fittings for the stove.
Hallways - demo floor! Thank goodness...they are now refinished & beautiful.
Office - demo floor for refinish.
Bedroom - demo floor, demo 1 wall (wood panel), demo drop ceiling. Put up Sheetrock, put up plywood on ceiling, order tin ceiling. Patch, prime, paint room and trim. Started sanding windowsills...remove old closet doors.
Bathroom - clean walls, remove/re-caulk tub. Sand down door. Prime all, some patching (needs more), paint first coat. Purchased new door knob.
That's all I can think of right now...we had to wait for the electric to be done b/4 we could start on a lot of things, and we had 4 days where we could not work in the house b/c of the floors, so we've gotten a lot done I think!
Here are some before & afters of the hardwood floors:
Before all the floors looked like this:
But with a sanding & finish, they are RED! - Red Pine:
