Working on the House

 

So, the demolition and mold remediation in the basement is basically done. This photo was taken as we were tearing down drywall, which is surprisingly easy and fun to do. Mark had bought himself a new tool called a FuBar just for this task. We had to wear masks, gloves, and goggles the whole time in the basement because of the mold and dust in the air (see lovely photo below!).


We also have been working on paint colors for the main floor rooms (living room, kitchen, and dining room). We're trying to pick colors that will look nice for resale (down the road). We've picked a very nice red color for the accent wall in the kitchen:


Because the red really needed two coats, I didn't get to cover much of the wall, and I ended up with (what I call) a red sun. It makes the wall (in my opinion) look like it has abstract art on it, which is pretty cool. I kind of don't want to fix it so the whole wall is red--but no one else agrees with me! My dad, in particular (who is a perfectionist!), really hated how the paint looked because it was so uneven.
