We closed on our house yesterday! Didnt have the keys for more then an hour and we were tearing out the wood paneling in the living room and hallway. Tearing down the drywall on the ceiling and walls, also gonna reinforce the wall where we hanging our tv. Will have pics posted later of the progress from yesterday and today. Now we heading to the house again! Washer and dryer getting delivered today. |
congrats its an awesome experience we bought our first house a couple months ago and just like u it didnt take long till we were tearing walls out and changing everything lol. i had more fun working on the house then on my car for awhile but cant neglect the car to much lol

Well we back from the house. Made good progress today, all paneling is down in living room and hallway, made a bad discovery while ripping down drywall, quite a few studs have pretty bad termite damage. Only like 5-6 studs, 2 of which are on an exterior wall, sooo looks like that is more stuff we doing. We also decided that since walls will be stripped of drywall in the living room, we gonna put a opening in the wall to make a nice pass-through into the kitchen. Its gonna look good after its done. Also gonna replace as much wiring as possible while studs are exposed. Well time for rest, another full day tomorrow as taking rest of drywall down.

congrats? any more pics?
|
Good stuff Karl!! Is this the house with the garage you were talking about? (if so pics... now! ha!) And of course if you need an extra hand let me know.
|
Thanks guys, yes this is the house with the garage. It fits 3 cars btw, creatively but they fit. Once I bring my laptop back home ill upload more pics. Getting ready to leave to work all day there.
|
Congrats man!!
|
Be on the look out in spring for the date of big get together/ breaking the backyard in party.
|
you said it had termite damage...were you not aware of this when you bought the house? if the seller knew, it should have been disclosed. if they didn't know, that means it was never treated. i would have someone come out and look at it either way. just my .02 - termites are no joke.
congrats on the purchase, it is a fun time! |
Well the visible termite damage was repaired prior to closing, the area that has damage is behind walls so nobody would have known. Its gonna get fixed so that's all that matters, just means we won't be in the house for a lil bit. I'm glad we found the damage now instead of having big problems later. So verizon coverage here sucks inside the house wtf...
|
Congrats.
|

|
Congrats, looks like a pretty nice size lot. Best of luck with it.
|
Congrats, man!
|

Everybody at work is so happy for you two! I can't wait to check it out! |
Congrats on the purchase of your house.

Well good day at the house, only have 3 more studs to replace. Its amazing how much damage a lil bug can cause. Looks like we gonna replace the big window in the living room as well as the whole door and frame. Putting 4 recessed lights in living room and 2 or 3 down the hallway. Adding some additional outlets and running cat5 from office throughout house. Let's see what else... O upgrading electric service to 200 amp. Well once I get home from picking up our daughter from north brunswick ill post up whole bunch of pics.
