Eh, lotta friggin painting to be done.  Found a nifty putty.  It's pink, and turns white as it cures.  When fully white, you can sand. 

That's Killz primer.  Yes, I need to finish edging. Will look at the results in a day or two to determine whether to add a second coat.  Then have a semi-glass for the final. Mid-grade for both.  Not the cheap junk, but definitely not "premium".  Just want something I can keep reasonably clean and it'll last a couple years.

Looks like you are off to a great start.

Seriously, AJ: were you like Hitler in a previous life? That kinda karma should take something MAJOR

Probably just talked too much in the theater.

Thanks.  I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Huh wa?


Rev, is that the garage you're painting?

[BlueStarLizzard]

Rev, is that the garage you're painting?

You know, I was thinking it was the inside of the house and going "man, that floor looks crappy, I hope it's on his todo list..." Until you made this post.
 

 
I think the cabinets threw me.

Looking good, rev.

I let Cacher out of the pit to paint.  He is doing an excellent job.  Otherwise he lubricates the woodchipper. 

And yes.  Walls, ceiling and last floor

Ah, good copy now.



Now's a good time to clean the snot out of the garage floor, pressure wash might even be in order if you feel so inclined.  Well, once the paint drys on the walls 

Speaking of which, pressure washer is another item you might consider on your list.  Not the end of the world without one, but they are nice to have.

Enslaving APS members is very handy for housework, you know.

Yea. I'm pondering that. I can tarp and tape the walls, hit it with a pressure washer.  Or just sweep and mop. I'm going to seal the cracks, for sure.  Not sure whether to repaint the floor or not. I really don't want to scrape up the paint on the floor, that's for sure.

Guest apartment is nicely square, so it's paint and replacing the crappy linoleum. Any suggestions on that score?  Wouldn't mind real or fake wood floor.

Best thing my wife & I ever did house-wise was to forgo ANY carpeting and have wood-grain linoleum in every room of the house. Easy to clean, allergen-resistant, and no unsightly staining....something a guy like yourself could appreciate....

My SIL's family went a different route.... They didn't put any flooring down....instead, staining the concrete slab to use as the floor. Considering that they have three small children and live in a flood plain, this has proven more than practical....

[BridgeRunner]

Oh, never mind.

Wood laminate, like I said earlier. Looks real nice, but just peel a strip off the back and stick it down to install.

Wood laminate is probably fine in the guest apartment. Cleans real easy like.  Not sure how it handles blood, though. Tile the floor in the guest bathroom.  

As far as the garage, it's still just a garage.  A clean floor is nice, (I can't stand it when mine's dirty) but scraping and repainting seems like way too much work.

Just my opinions anyway.

It doesn't stain and it seals very well, so no seepage under the flooring. But you have to use a towel to get whats in the grain of the wood, because a standard mop doesn't work. Although a spong mop might work...

(yes, I know how it handles blood. No, I am not some crazy killer person)

[CNYCacher]

The rolled vinyl flooring options are quite attractive.  Completely non-porous, one-piece. . .

Went looking at vinyl today. Do not want. Don't like the look or texture. Wood laminate is what I'll likely go with, specifically the kind that snap together and do not need to be glued down.  It's held down by being interlocked, and by the edging. Not a fan of the fact that it has cracks (which can and will soak up liquids), but I'm pondering if I can put some clear coat on top of it.

Looked at tile. Do not like cleaning grout. So it'll probably be some stone looking linoleum for the bathroom.  

Started hanging up tools on the primary peg board (4x12, I believe).  Need more pegs, so a trip to Harbor Freight is in order.

Took off the shelving in the far left of the above photo. The rails will be slightly more difficult to remove. It's only nailed in place, but ye Gods is it securely nailed in place.  Not a biggie.  Windows and baseboard are painted now. Picked up stainless steel cover plates for electrical outlets and light switches. Did second primer coat after sanding. Still need to do on top and undersides of the cabinets. It's not visible under normal circumstances, but I still want to do a thorough job. Will wait a while and thoroughly sand before putting semi-gloss on.

And swept the floor a bit because some folks commented on it.

Katie and EJ have that in their trailer. They did not coat it. As far as I know they have had no issues with seepage, and that's with multiple old lady dogs flooding half the trailer, at times. So far it looks like the flooring will outlast the trailer.

I want to stab whoever planted ivy.  From what I understand the wife of the couple that owned the place prior to the doctor I bought the place from did a lot of landscaping.  Doc let all of it get overgrown. Lotta leaves and plants to remove.  Driveway is cleared and can now park a dozen cars with room to spare. 

Need to finish painting and then start on clearing the brush.  That is going to be fun.  Khukri for the win. 

Plan on installing bar and giant TV in the ridiculious living room.  Could host a hell of a party.

Working on it, so I can actually just mail folks a key that lets them into the guest room but not my house and garage proper.  You won't want to visit until I finish the room anyways.  Unless you want to sleep on concrete slab.
