Jeremiah’s Room Renovation: Day 2….oh boy!

I just want to start off by saying…we got a lot done yesterday.  Completely emptied Jeremiah’s room out and walls are bare (well minus his TV and Roku..we’re gonna use that)…and so is the floor.

I know right…we’re AMAZING!  And here’s the “oh boy…” part of the title…

Yeah…you read that right…it says “THIS SIDE DOWN”…and its facing up…geniuses built this house I tell ya!  And if that’s not bad enough…

It’s all nasty and can’t really tell in this pic BUT where all the edges meet the boards are buckled…In all honesty though we weren’t expecting anything different.  We have found over the past 2 years living here that there is a lot of “cheap” ways that they redid things around here and a lot of stuff the inspector did not find…yay for us.  Luckily Billy is a construction type guy…So our new plans….Rip up all the chipboard in the floor and completely re-do the floor this weekend before putting the hardwood in…oh and FYI…we decided against the bamboo flooring since it dents so very easily…and by easily I mean barely tapping it.

My plans for today “Day 2” is to go and get a few cans of knockdown texture and the tan paint for the room so we can hopefully get started on that tonight.  In the mean time…here is what our dining room looks like now!

who’da thunk we could fit ALL of that in his tiny little room!  Amazing!  Needless to say that will be gone through as well as we re-infiltrate it back into his room…*sigh

to be continued….
