It's been almost a calendar month since I told yous my plans for the dining/living room areas as well as estimate what?
Change is coming as well as thus s-l-o-w-l-y, I'm getting scared this is non going to survive ready for Christmas! :/
I know I'm a tiresome poke, only sometimes I fifty-fifty larn mad at myself for taking as well as thus much fourth dimension amongst sure enough projects. It's as well as thus difficult to change.
In my defense, I convey to acknowledge I'm most of the time
busy doing something, I cannot maintain my hands still. I worked actually difficult inward the garden, removing the vegetable garden as well as creating a novel bloom bed. But, it's difficult to run into that run correct now. Anyhoo, that took similar 2 weeks of precious fourth dimension I could had invested inward the build-ins.
Last calendar week I started working inward these rooms, as well as kickoff things kickoff > Removing the tiny baseboards. It took me similar 2 days because, the guys who installed the hardwood floors told us it was fine to install them without removing the baseboards. Ha, instantly I know it was fine for THEM!
Removing the baseboards was a hurting because the flooring was correct there, blocking their agency out. :(
Those nails that were driven at the lower purpose of the baseboards are variety of imposible to loosen upward because of the floor.
I decided to tackle those suckers amongst ability tools. I brought my Ryobi Multitool amongst a metallic blade as well as it was slow to cutting those nails at the hap as well as roughly of the lower ones, when at that topographic point was a fleck to a greater extent than infinite betwixt the floors as well as the baseboards.
And I could run into progress.
But, at that topographic point were roughly spots where those guys installed the floors as well as thus tight against the baseboards that the multitool was non fifty-fifty able to hit those lower nails. So, the reciprocrating saw came to the rescue.
The baseboard came out inward piddling pieces afterward all the struggle, only hey, it was done!
I went thru all that problem because I had the tools as well as because of savings. But, at that topographic point is an slow agency to laid upward this problem. There is this novel type of baseboards that hides the piddling baseboard, as well as thus yous don't ask to withdraw it! I knew virtually it because my friend Marty did it correct HERE in her bathroom. If yous don't desire to become thru that fight, become banking corporation gibe her post, she has all the details virtually it.
Since I'm variety of replacing the baseboards on he entire kickoff floor, that's non a inexpensive solution for me. I'm going to buy the farm along fighting those beasts. ;)
This was my progress terminal Fri - Baseboards gone, shelves removed, as well as the bases for the build-ins inward place.
I dedicated a actually skilful amount of fourth dimension this past times weekend to run on this project. But, I'm going to nation yous virtually that inward my adjacent post.
