Kevin, a close friend of my brother Dave and I ran into a problem with his contractor and asked us to help him to get some projects completed around his home to prepare for putting it on the market. We plan to renovate 4 bedrooms and the kitchen, including new flooring, new windows & doors, and painting, along with a few smaller projects spanning over a few months which started in mid July, and wrapping up by December. Along with some work in both his attached and detached garages as well.
Crown molding, paint and tile backsplash
This past week started out with the re-installation of the crown molding in the kitchen. Much of it had to be removed during demo to allow for the new cabinet installation. Because of the new cabinets I had to use a termination return for the crown. Then I caulked and filled the nail holes. I would have begun the tile backsplash, but I was waiting for the electrician to come back and work on some issues with the kitchen plugs and didn't want to set the tile yet until I was sure he didn't need to cut into the wall. In the meantime I proceeded to take care of other tasks that needed to be done. I painted the trim in the dining room last week, so then I also painted the walls and ceiling while I waited for the Electrician, as well as the door for the 1/2 bath.
Once the plugs were working I shifted gears, and turned my focus back to setting the tile backsplash. I was able to set all the tile by this weekend, and next week I will grout the tile, so be sure to return to see the finished work next week!
Tasks done this past week:
✔️ Re-installed crown molding
✔️ Filled nail holes
✔️ Caulked the crown molding.
✔️ Painted 1/2 bath door
✔️ Painted dining room walls and ceiling
✔️ Masked trim in hallway to prepare for paint later.
✔️ Set kitchen backsplash tile.
