We decided to take on the chore of painting the entire house ourselves. We got some absolutely ridiculous quotes and just couldn't justify forking out that much money for something we're capable of doing on our own.
Thankfully we have been SUPER fortunate to have great friends and family to come help. It doesn't hurt that they're actually excellent painters!
A special shout out goes to Tracy for tackling both girls' rooms. They were the trickiest rooms in the house thanks to the turquoise ceiling and the wall paint colour that is just a touch off from the primer colour. But they turned out great and look professionally done!
We are so appreciative of all the help!
So far we have used 20 gallons of primer, 6 gallons of ceiling paint and 3 gallons of wall colour. The ceilings are all done and we just have the walls left in all rooms except for the bedrooms. We're getting closer!
Hopefully we can get the trim and doors painted early this week so our finish carpenter can get started.
Doors all ready to be painted dark gray.
Everyone is super sore and achy from hours and hours of painting. We'll all be glad when this part is over!
Our tiling is all finished. It turned out so well.
Main bath floor and tub surround.
Ensuite shower.
We had someone come out to measure for glass doors this week too. They should be installed in the next 2 weeks.
Our garage doors should be getting installed Monday. I can't wait to see how the front of the house looks without plywood for garage doors!
I wish our hardwood was ready... That's the only thing holding us up right now. As long as they're 100% ready to be installed by February 17th, we should be fine. Our installer is scheduled to come from the 18th-22nd. Fingers crossed!
