Master Bedroom Suite Progress!! (Flooring Progress & Prepping For Paint)

I’ll simply warn you proper up entrance. Whereas there was some actually thrilling progress in our master suite suite (thrilling to me, that’s), the photographs on this submit are most likely not going to be very thrilling to you. 😀 However I’m going to share them anyway. It’ll be like visiting with a brand new mother who desires to indicate you all the 150 footage she’s taken of her new child during the last 24 hours, when you sit there making an effort to maintain a pleasing smile in your face whereas considering to your self, “Two or three footage would have been sufficient.” 😀

Anyway, the flooring guys instructed me that they might be right here at 9:00am on Friday to get began. They confirmed up at 8:50am, walked via the door at about 8:55am, requested just a few questions, and acquired proper to work. They didn’t even depart for lunch. They ate their lunch right here, and labored till 5:00pm. After my expertise with the contractor again in November and December (which you can read about here), it was such a breath of contemporary air to be coping with individuals who really take delight of their work and have an incredible work ethic.

The corporate doing the work is a neighborhood family-owned enterprise. The daddy began the enterprise. He’s semi-retired now, and he handed over the enterprise to his youngest son. Many of the guys doing the work are brothers (apart from one), and I can inform that they’re all very shut and get alongside rather well with one another. It was such a pleasure listening to them in there collectively speaking, laughing, and having time, whereas additionally working effectively collectively whereas additionally staying centered on the work and getting the job completed. The daddy, regardless that he’s retired, nonetheless likes to regulate his sons and the work they do, so he stopped by for fairly some time to oversee and ensure issues have been going effectively. You may inform that they’re all salt of the earth form of individuals, so when you’re within the Waco space and wish flooring put in, I extremely advocate them. The corporate known as Valdez Ground Masters.

Earlier than they acquired right here, I took about 100 earlier than footage of the entire master suite suite from each angle I might consider. I’ve realized currently that I by no means appear to take sufficient earlier than footage of my rooms and tasks, so I wished to doc every thing. And whereas I used to be taking footage, I spotted what unhappy form the partitions within the closet have been in. It was a mixture of tough areas left behind from the closets and trim that was taken out, like this space on the ceiling…

And all of those torn up areas alongside the underside of the partitions the place the baseboards had been eliminated…

Plus all the unfinished drywall restore that was left behind once I requested the contractor to not come again in December. These seams on both facet of the door have been actually tough with the drywall tape nonetheless displaying via nearly all the way in which down…

And these areas the place the washer and dryer are going have been a whole mess.

From distant, it’s arduous to inform what they regarded like. However up shut, that is what nearly all the mudded areas within the room regarded like…

After which there have been the areas the place the closets have been torn out that hadn’t even been touched but.

Anyway, suffice it to say, the entire room was a large number. In order that they labored on the ground till 5:00, they usually acquired the flooring put in within the lobby…

…the little hallway between the lobby and bed room…

…and the center part of the closet…

After which they acquired a lot of the flooring reduce for the suitable facet of the closet, however it hasn’t been put in but.

I had deliberate to work on an outside challenge whereas they have been doing the flooring, however the climate was nonetheless actually chilly on Friday, and nonetheless too chilly for outside work on Saturday as effectively. So as an alternative, I spent the weekend doing the drywall restore within the closet. Drywall is my least favourite factor to do, however I made a decision to only get in there and get it completed. And by bedtime final night time, I had completed nearly all of it. All the mural wall is now sanded and prepared for primer.

The tough areas on the ceiling have all been mudded, though I didn’t have time to complete the sanding.

All the tough areas across the washer and dryer have been mudded and are actually sanded and prepared for primer.

The actually tough space on the ceiling the place the drywall needed to be eliminated for plumbing is now mudded (however nonetheless wants sanding).

However the partitions are completed and prepared for primer.

I used to be actually hoping that I might get all the sanding completed after which get primer on the partitions and ceiling by the top of the weekend, however I ran out of time. However not less than most of it’s completed, apart from a bit extra sanding. As quickly as they’re completed putting in the flooring on this room, I can end up the sanding and get the partitions and ceiling primed after which begin testing out some paint colour. That would be the thrilling half! I’m utilizing that to encourage myself, as a result of I’m so able to get to the enjoyable stuff!

Talking of paint colours, I made a visit to House Depot to purchase all the primer I would wish for this room, and I took my wallpaper with me in order that I might decide up some paint samples. I walked away with two paint samples for the closet cupboards, and I hate to disappoint, however neither of these have been coral. After seeing some mockups that my mother did for me with numerous paint colours, I’ve determined to go a distinct course with the colour of the closet. I’ll share these later this week, together with the 2 samples I did decide up as quickly as I’ve a chance to truly paint these samples on the wall within the closet, and I feel you’ll most likely agree that this new course is a lot better. So keep tuned, as a result of we’re proper on the cusp of the enjoyable stuff!
