The reason I didn't make it to the meet up. Pics inside!
 

I didn't finish remodeling my living room on time.

My wife and I have been working on this every free week end we have. Which aren't many. It's been about 3 months since we started. We started by ripping the old drywall out which was over the original drywall. Including the celing. PUt in new wiring, switches and outlets.
We painted and did the sponging thing or what ever you call it. Next we tore out the old carpeting and padding. Went out and bought some laminated hardwood flooring. This is what took longer than I expected. Ment to start Saturday and finish the same day. But I didn't start till 9am Sunday. Hoped to knock it out but we didn't finish till 7pm! Doing special cuts for the gas heater and doors was a bitch and the last 5 inches against the wall.

Anyhow I present evidence:

Oh forgot to mention the new front door. My father in-law did that with one of my brother in-laws. And a new celing fan.

Ignore the spots. Don't know if those are from the lights.

Anyhow I'm fucking beat. I'm gonna be sore in the morning.

Thoughts and opinions are appriciated :D

Next the dinning room!!

Looks good so far, now all it needs is the nice big couch, the 70 inch HDTV, and a bar in the corner :)

Oh wow...kudos on a job well done. The ceiling fan is especially wicked.

That looks wonderfull. And to think my version of remodeling just involves replacing power outlets, light switch, and repainting.

Nice work! My dad and I are working on building the basement. It goes to show that everybody can do anything they want to if they could set their mind to it.

Spots! Those are definately paranormal orbs! :lol:

Only kidding I don't believe in that stuff. :P Looking pretty good by the way! Nice job :)

That's what I told my wife.

I don't do much around the house. You're lucky if you can get me to mow the lawn. I spend my time on the computer (duh). I've never done anything like this. First time for all the stuff I've done so far. Only thing I didn't do was the door which was beyond my capabilities.

As with everything I've done and know. I only learn by trial and error ;)
