  • Stain is down! Now to let it cure tonight and tomorrow and then apply the topcoat. @minwaxusa #earlyamerican stain went on a bit darker than we anticipated, applied with my best karate kid wipe on, wipe off style.. . . . . . . #floorrestoration #homerenovation #floorstaining #wipeonwipeoff #mmmmVOCs
  • Sanded, swept, vacuumed, and now ragged with mineral spirits to pull the last of the dust. Just staining and topcoating left. #floorsanding #floorrestoration #homerenovation #tedium #fridayoff
  • These guys are awesome. Roofing crew from @titanroofingllc replacing our amazingly disintegrated roof with new shingles. #homerepair #roof #homerenovation #lettheprosdoit
  • Practice Run: Drum sanders can be pretty aggressive. The best advice I got was to start out with 120 grit until getting the hang of the tool. #floorrestoration #floorrefinishing #floorsanding #homerenovation #fixerupper #practicemakesbetter
  • Before: these hardwood floors have seen better days, started sanding down today. #hardwoodfloors #floorrestoration #floorsanding
  • Cabinets repaired, put up on new bases, secured to the wall, and doors aligned. . . . . . . . #checkoffthelist #homerenovation #kitchen #kitchencabinets
  • That’s some quality #termitevomit #particleboard right there. Thanks @ikeausa ! Replacing it with a new plywood bottom. Hopefully this will help keep the cabinets in their upright position. . . . . . #carpentry #homeimprovement #fixerupper #ikeafail #cabinet #kitchen
  • Cabinet doors above the refrigerator didn’t open fully since the fridge hinges were too high. Pulled the fridge out to find that the cabinets aren’t attached to the wall all... prior owner used the fridge to prevent them from tipping, and they are sitting on bricks. Add another project to the list. . . . . . #homesweethome #homerepair #adventuresinhomeownership #shoddyworkmanship #cabinets #kitchenremodel
  • Adventures in Home Owning: Day One, repairing the gutter downspouts. At some point in the past, someone hacked up the downspouts and they just let water dump to the corners of the foundation, causing water infiltration. Reattached downspouts to the building and connected this one back to the drainage system. . . . . . . #homerepair #gutters #downspouts #fixerupper #homeowners
