Put up new shelf to cover old holes that we couldn't seem to fill the right color...
shelf looks better anyway.
notice the perfect height for paper towels, (sheer luck) Lol.

Trimmed out living room, except for around door jams since new doors are coming with new jams/extensions...
framed in registers, plaster a little rough there and...that wall was originally the front exterior wall of the house 1939-1959...you can see brick work in registers, concealed it with frame.

was putting little shelf together, and my buddy starts staring at this one...
then says it looks like the tide and sand line on the beach.
I told him just take a couple hits less at lunch tomorrow...

scraped the corners where the walls meet the ceiling and then caulked them so that hopefully i get a nice sharp line when i go to paint in another 20 minutes. that's about all i'll be doing today since i still can't lift my arms above my head. hopefully i should be ready to start trimming out tomorrow.

i may have to trim out my registers now, just to keep up with the jones'. the jones' are assholes.

Been taking care of a kitten since I got home from work. I've been bottle feeding it between it's naps and making sure my cats don't kill it. I'm pretty sure it's my cat Lucifer's grandkitten, it looks just like her son, and he is the only black cat I've seen within several miles of here.

The rest of the litter didn't make it, and he wasn't looking so good. So I've been taking care of the little shit and my niece has been looking after it while I'm at work.

Is this your place or a remodel for someone else?

our place. my wife's wardrobe room.

i ended up just getting really pissed off and ripping out most of the drywall at 9 pm last night. ran to home depot before it closed and picked up some more as well as joint compound and tape. rocked out with some beers down there until it was all redone and spackled and taped. gonna sand and texture tonight.

another 2-3 day delay on a simple remodel. fuck me.

Yesterday I gave the truck an oil change and started changing the plugs and wires and discovered that one of the back spark plugs has never been changed. While attempting to turn it out I snapped it off.

So I ran to the store to get an easy out to get the rest of the broken off spark plug out.

Then I snapped the easy out inside the broke spark plug.

So I ended up having to rip the fucking motor apart to get the head out.

After 6 more hours of breaking bolts I finally managed to get the broken off plug out of the head.

Now the truck is getting all new hardware and gaskets.

Tore out old marlite inside back door entrance and the old furring strips, put in new strips and wood paneled...we made a great effort to preserve the original marlite walls...most were just one wall in each room put up by my dad in 1959 as part of his expansion/remodel...but here he put it in sideways with leftovers so it was the one marlite wall we scrapped...have to wait for door to be changed to finish trim around it, jams all coming out...also changed light switch and box, cut down a blue plastic one to fit in there, threw up temp. cover...

Upon entering you go left up 3 steps to kitchen or straight down to basement. The walls going down had 2 painted over old masonite covers nailed on...ripped those off to see WTF was behind them (old holes for old plumbing) so we got a small piece of drywall and filled both holes flush, joint compound and paper. We didn't have to because I'm paneling over...but I'm trying to be professional here like @UncleBuck ...

After this, we move to the final frontier, the basement...my former hangout...long ago in a galaxy far away. New floors everywhere and refinishing huge bar room in the back and restoring old bar in there...

Simple remodel? There's no such thing.
