Didn't bring the dining set as planned because we want to finish up this whole section and clean it up first. Ugh, so much work!
I've never seen a toilet paper holder made out of wood like this...
Gotta take these old ugly carpets to the dump soon...
Dropping off the painting tools at the house and the microwave we got from Walmart.
Gotta get to work. My first project this morning is the hallway. Put the masking tape and then paint it.
Done with this tiny hallway. What took a lot of work was the taping and the edges. It's not pink, by the way. It's "malt" color... Hahaha!
It's time to work on this room. Hopefully we can finish it up today, but I kind of doubt it. Maybe it'll take two days instead. We'll see.
Rolled beef tacos for my lunch. Yummo!
Apparently, the color we got for the living/dining room is way too close to the outside walls. So, heading back to Home Depot to find a different color.
Back to work. Will be painting this side of the dining room now. Ha!
Yup, we're finally done painting the living room/dining room. Just one more wall that will use a different color. That'll be tomorrow.
Time to paint this side of the walls before repainting the hallway again...

Done with doing the molding in the hallway and part of the living room. Still need a lot of touch-ups. Gonna do that tomorrow. It's now time to go home.
Whoever lived here before made this cool table with marked drawers for tools and stuff. He really shared my OCD, neat freak... Hahaha!
Back here and it's time to go back to work. The touch-ups just can't stop showing up. Arg!
Dropping off the dining set here.
About to set up the dining table when we realized we forgot to bring the screws with us... Hahaha!

Lots of work needed to get done here today. I'm doing laundry also right now...
...Then, scrapping of the rest of the wallpaper on the walls in the family room...
...And installing the plywood on the wood blocks on the floor as the second stage of the floor project. We'll paint the walls first before installing the hardwood floor on top of the plywood.
Back at the house. Gonna finish up putting the plywood down for the floor today before the rapture this weekend...
I signed our names on the floor before we permanently closed it with the plywood. The date is when we officially got the key to the house...
And we are done for today! Yay!

Gosh, it's really a pain to work on these floor boards. Looks like we're not gonna make the moving deadline this Saturday. Gonna have to postpone it till sometime next week...
This is how far we went today with installing the floor boards. Too many cuts needed and first mistakes made. Oh, well...
Gonna put a couple of rows of the floor boards.
