That being said, one of my 4 year old son's favorite shows is Property Brothers. He calls them the Demo Boys, and he has decided that when he grows up, he and his daddy are going to do demo. Unfortunately my husband is not so into demo because it is messy. . . . . and dusty. . . . . and so he has to clean as he goes (see here).
But in the interest of getting this done he tore out the old pantry closet over the weekend and began removing baseboards. He also managed to get some of the drywall patched where the old walls met.
We went and got our sink from Ikea, and quite a bit of the other stuff we will need from Home Depot. We hope to finish demo, get everything (including the washer and dryer) out of the room and get the floor laid this weekend (so we can get the washer and dryer back in and have clean clothes for work and school next week!) I am hoping we can get some painting done too.
Hopefully by this time next week we will be able to see real progress but I can't wait to see what everyone else has managed to accomplish in the meantime!
I love a good demo! How cute is your little guy too. One day my hubby and I plan to flip houses and have our son help when he's older. Maybe you have a future helper on your hands!
ReplyDeleteYes, we would love to do that too! I had hoped daddy would let the little guy help some this time but he got it done too fast!
DeleteThere is something so satisfying about standing back after demo and seeing your "new" space!! Progress!
ReplyDeleteYes and it is amazing how different an empty space feels!
Deletenice! You went from a small space to reasonable space. I cannot wait to see your progress next week.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And me too!
DeleteLove your plan for the space! I'm sure it's nice to have the demo out of the way... Our laundry room is a disaster zone, so your makeover is inspiring me to get mine in order!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy! Our laundry room isn't so much a disaster zone right now . . . it's just empty, but now the rest of the house is a horrible mess!
