Default Homeowners can apprecaite this

from start to finish its been a long ****ing process. All thats left is finishing touches with bordering and the metal to hold the carpet down...But here ya go! Ill have to find pics but there use to be this 10x4 closet that was literally in front of the fuse box..it sucked.
It began with wood!

After the lights went up.

took out the 1950 in wall heater...what a pain!

pre laundry room

drywall anybody?

progress is made

yay more drywall

swapped a fuse box to circuit breaker...not fun racing the sun that day lol

Good one, Hope that space off the laundry is either a garage or the pool room. (I made a bar from the material left overs, told my wife it was going to be a "workbench")
Ah the memories, we drove our friends and rellies nuts for six months, when your doing something like that you think everyone is interested in paint and wall preparation, cost of gal nails & so on. Got so that everyone stopped asking "Hows the house progressing". Anyone that was foolish enough to ask, got the how deal which usually included highlights with the blueprints. The only thing that could stop us was the fact that we both crashed from exhaustion at about 8:00pm everynight. And even then your dreamt about it.
Don't think I'd every do it again, but there is nothing in the world more satisfying.

thanks guys, its been a forever process and now that its done i almost feel bad since its both my freeloading parents that get to live in it. I did it to mostly boost home value or else it would have a huge projector tv, couches and pool table.
