Feb. 1st, 2009 07:58 pmThe demo work in the master bedroom is done. One rough spot on the panelling that'll need a bit of attention, but otherwise things went stellar. The master bedroom door came down and replaced the door on the second bedroom; I'm intent on finding a tapestry piece to put over my bedroom door instead of the unwieldy door. Also fixed is the last of the locks; everything now has been re-keyed and I can quit worrying about the place getting raided by the previous owner's ex-boyfriend.
The kitchen sink is another matter entirely. In their infinite wisdom, Champion (the builder) didn't bother to put water valves under the kitchen sink... in order to change the faucet (necessary, the old one is broken) the main water has to be shut off. That'd mean unwrapping the already-insulated main out behind the trailer, then having to completely redo the insulation once the work was done. For the moment I've got the old spigot patched back together, and will limp it along until spring hits and we can unwrap everything.
I've begun shopping for a chunk of carpet to fit the bedroom. I've got a 9'x11' room with a cutout for the cubby that holds the water heater. It's looking like that'll run my between $70 and $100. The toilet that needs to be replaced will be another $250 or so. The bathtub? $450 minimum.
Still, the place is mine. The toilet will hold for a bit but is on the 'definitely replace' list along with the bathtub. But it's mine, and that's that.
And it's nap time now. *thud*
