This year the big project around the Acres has been gutting and redoing the room off the back of the kitchen. We want to turn this space into a "mudroom". The main entrance to the house. A place to take off coats and shoes and some extra storage.
When we started this spring it looked like this.
The room was not insulated. Because it wasn't insulated it would freeze up in the winter and thaw, then freeze again, then thaw. There was allot of moisture in the room. We had a slight mold problem. See the right hand side of the picture, that's not a bad paint job, that would be mold. Yup it had to go.
So at the beginning of the spring it was all torn out. The moldy fiber board the crappy "wood" linoleum flooring. It all went bye-bye. It sat empty for a few months. Nothing but the sub floor and the studs.
A few weeks ago my parents came down and helped with the wiring. Since then Mr. B has been quite the handy man.
He insulated and installed the vapor barrier.
His brother came over and helped hang dry wall.
He laid plywood over the floor to create an even surface for new flooring.
I think he made some major progress these past two weeks.
He also wore a tool belt.
