Thanks your not kidding there. I used a dolly and a couple people which helped a lot. The long low one was a bit harder, couldnt use the dolly on that one. I have no idea. My exact thoughts. I know it was like that for a long time though, and the thought of that just makes me sick. In the...

hahaha..... 32 an old man.. that's just getting warmed up

Thanks for all the nice comments. Maybe I shouldn't say I'm still in my 20's.....lol

thanks for all the comments, really appreciate it. This place is taking its toll on me, but every time I do something make make it ours and better, it really makes me love it that much more.

Now finally I am done posting about the house and have been getting to work in the garage.... First thing I accomplished was running new electrical with a sub panel. Hand dug the trench on Saturday , installed everything and covered it back up Sunday. I started clearing out the rafters...

radiators I got sand blasted, the place didnt get it all off so I got an air stippler and blasted off the rest of the paint. Then used some super expensive (joking) Rustoleum Oil rubbed Bronze paint to paint them. Again making a half hearted paint booth, this time out of the garage. They came...

new banister. started with some 4x4's wrapped them in some hard board so there wouldnt be any knots to deal with or see. and then trimmed them out. Used the hidden metal brackets to secure the end posts that get covered by the same size trim we are using for the baseboards, and lag bolted the...

found this vanity on sale online. It wasn't the color we wanted so we ended up painting it to bring in some subtle color to the bathroom. I turned the sun room into a make shift paint booth to spray it. The mirrors still need to be painted white, but its functional. and once everything was...

The old railing came down, it was way too short and scary unstable, not to mention just didnt go with the look we want. Previous owners tried to make it more sturdy and decided it would be a good idea to notch into the wood floor to add some metal L-brackets to the post at the top of the...

Its been a long time since I have been back around the good old garage journal, but work never stops. I'll catch things up here. I spent a long time trying to figure out shower glass, and getting the look we were after. I tried finding old warehouse windows, and other industrial windows...

The ceiling is now done, and we have started priming everything. Turns out they smoked in the house at some point and the yellow just started coming through the mud. we ended up hiring out the ceiling job, because it would of taken me forever and I didnt want to spend all those nights with my...

Thanks, I'm not sure what brand they are, I found them on ebay. Did a lot of research while trying to find this look of fixture, and believe it or not they were half the cost of the fixtures we purchased for the vanity. I think they are just some china specials. The way I look at is anything...

while I had the 3 disconnected I went inside and my buddy stayed out and watched as I poured water down the drains. The center line is the main sanitary, 2 of the floor drains and everything else from the house. One other floor drain I knew has a problem and that one trickled out of the left...

Thats hilarious!! It does have a bit of a jail cell feel.. I dig it. and thanks to everyone else for all the comments.

Aside from all the work in the master, we have been battling drain issues since we moved in. the first time we ran the laundry the floor drains in the basement came up. After the lines were snaked it was good for a couple months. It started to be once a month I was renting a snake from the deep...

The shower tile is finally done except for the grout which I should get to this weekend. After the Durock went up I did a few coats of RedGard. This stuff is so cool, I would highly recommend it. This house is teaching me a lot, and allowing me a lot of firsts. This is definitely the largest...

Thanks, the basement feels so much better its incredible, still not nice, but much better no doubt. The electrical will be getting completely redone over time. The breaker box is all updated 2010 but whoever did the work didnt do the best job. Its 100% full, and right next to it there are about...

It seems to take forever until I look back at how much has been accomplished in only about 5 months time in the few hours of free time I have.

The basement was the first part of the house we tackled. There was a bunch of little rooms, and the story goes at one time one of the previous owners took in children from bad homes and they lived in the basement. Very creepy. The great thing is there is an additional entrance to the basement...

Thanks for all the comments gentleman.
