We had major concrete work done. New driveway, sidewalk, front walk, and patio out back. The driveway was necessary, but we decided to do it all since we got a pretty good deal and all but the front walk needed to be done at some point. It was cheaper to do it all at once rather than spaced out.
This was the front of my house:
And here are some of how it looks now.
Along with my wife and help from my mother and in-laws, we redid the living room, steps, and hallway in the downstairs. I had a flood about a year and a half ago and we are finally finishing up the work that needed to be done to my house. The living room floor was last and we installed some great Bruce Lock & Fold flooring over the concrete slab.
This was before we finished with the staircase area. It's painted as of tonight. All that needs to be done is to install the molding. We have all new baseboard molding and door casing that will go in. I also need to reroute the cables for the Directv. I put in a hookup and there are loose cables in the attic that need to be connected to the dish. Also, with as bad as the transition from wall to ceiling is, we're putting up some small molding that will act as crown molding throughout most of the downstairs. I can't wait to be finished.
Unfortunately, this took up all of my vacation, but at least I have my house back together.
