Corey’s home continues to improve

07/12/08 – Today, Mark and I helped Corey re-do his hall closet while Danielle was at work. Actually, Mark has worked seventeen hours OT this week, so he took a nap while Corey and I put up white beadboard in the closet. Mark then woke up in time to help with the shelving. It rocks and we will hopefully finish it tomorrow. Tomorrow we are also going to help Corey and Danielle strip the hardwood floors. That should be fun (???).

07/13/08 – Today, Mark, Corey, Danielle and myself worked on the hall closet more and then – drumroll please – began sanding the floors. What a job! Corey manned the drum sander and Mark ran the edge sander. Danielle and I were the perfect little helpers.

07/14/08 – Corey and Danielle finished sanding and prepping the floor – and also have the closet finished!

07/15/08 – Corey put on the first coat of stain and the sealer. He will now do a coat of poly after work every night. So far, so good. Corey said you can really see the swirl marks from the sander – but it is what it is. It will be fine – much better than before.

07/20/08 – Ta da!!!! And here’s the floor with maybe/hopefully the final coat of poly. How beautiful does that look? Corey rocks (so does Danielle!!!). Now the walls need some more touch ups on the drywall and then it can be painted and trimmed out.
