Trust me, I'm all for buying the paint. My buddy is trying to help me out, and use what he has. I have no problem dropping a bill on some good ass paint.

 

We can rule out Flyer-orange, right?

 

I wouldn't even paint my shitter Flyers orange

 

 

Get the primer in one...that shit is like 40 bucks per gallon...but guess what...one coat...instead of 2 coats for the 25 per gallon cheap stuff (double the volume and tada...double the labor, double the cost!)

 

Behr 'Elephant Skin'. Do it.

 

 

That's actually the color I want to paint my bathroom...

 

Just booked some appointments, it's about to go down...

 

So plumbing and electrical?

 

If you didn't notice, I've been doing all the electrical myself :shocking:

 

As a guy who has ZERO experience with electrical stuff, I find that impressive. Did you learn that from your old man or on your own, C...?

 

On my own

 

I didn't notice as I haven't seen any real electrical stuff listed here. Switching out outlets, lights, switches isn't quite the same as running new lines from the breaker.

 

I have no empty breakers

I will be getting an electrician to replace the box, but first I have to get the service to the house upgraded

 

Tile, subfloor and baseboards for the kitchen go in next Friday

 

Nice! Will you have help installing it?

 

It's all being professionally installed

 

Post pics afterwards!

 

and before...

 

More stuff is in motion

 

 

Little teaser for Friday, using the lighter "driftwood" grout color to match the walls.

Nice match to the cabinets

After the subfloor, the tile and the baseboards go in, the kitchen will be done minus appliances. Then it's on to the next big project. First things first, had to get rid of this behemoth.

Had to clear it out and get it outside

Then we went shining on it.

Nice big open space

Used the coffee table for a temporary stand, much more to come here

What paint did you use?

 

@ going-Shining...


Did you go, "Hereeeeeee's Johnny!"...?

 

Is it safe to burn something with that much varnish on it?

 

it helps skip the step of adding gasoline onto it...

 

For the kitchen, we used all Sherwin Williams colors

Main walls
Sand Dune SW 6086 - Warm Neutral Paint Color - Sherwin-Williams

Bulk head
Garret Gray SW 6075 - Warm Neutral Paint Color - Sherwin-Williams

Ceiling
Futon SW 7101 - White Paint Color - Sherwin-Williams

 

We were pretty drunk, and yes I did

 

Define safe

 

Well he is still alive and posting and hasn't lost to many brain cells so I guess it was fairly safe

 

It's not like I stood there and huffed the smoke I sat under my covered porch and drank

 

Tile time!

 

Nice update.

 

So Friday, the flooring installers showed up to install the new subfloor and tile in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the 3" paintable baseboards were not on the truck and they did not install them. I'm still fighting with the company to get that part rectified, however the tile came out great.

Here's the new tile

Now to find out when I can get the baseboard in and be done with the damn kitchen

 

The tile looks great but you must do something about those cabinets it is taking away from that awesome tile.

 

I'll get to em, got a LOT going on at the moment

 

Looking very nice, Ack.

 

Thanks H, it's coming along
