Master Bedroom Floors



This past weekend we spent an entire day and half preparing the master bedroom floor for sanding. This is quite a lengthly process including pulling up staples from the carpeting we removed and random nails, setting all nails below the surface, removing the old paint that is in some places at least 3 thick layers. We managed to begin sanding sunday afternoon, but the general exhaustion prevented us from finishing the 1st layer of sanding. But the floor is starting to look pretty good.

Soundproofing



John purchased soundproofing foam which we added around the bathroom and between the bedroom walls before we finished drywalling these rooms. So far the verdict is that it's a slight help. Although with only two of us in the house it isn't really a problem.

Master Bedroom Closets




A couple weeks ago I framed the master bedroom closets. Later John and I finished putting up the drywall in the master bedroom. The spackling process has begun and will be finished for this room in another day or two.

Drywall continued
















This weekend we continued to put up drywall, and my family was here helping all day Saturday! We have the middle bedroom celing and about half the room dryalled.

More drywall








Last weekend John and I hung drywall on the master bedroom ceiling and part of the walls. The ceilings require a lot of prep time shimming as they are not very level.
