WRAPPING UP THE WEEK

Sunday was somewhat of an off day for Project NashVegas.  My dad left town around noon after spending the week helping me complete the bathroom.  We spent the morning doing some finish work including installing the doors and applying a coat of poly to the bathroom built in;

After my dad left I spent the afternoon running around returning supplies, getting a haircut, checking email, etc..  At the end of the day I started work on the guest bedroom built in dresser and completed the carcass before calling it a night.  If you remember from the first blog posts, at some point in time the owners added a stairway to the second floor which cut down the original guest room closet in half.  Here are some before pictures;

Even though I built a new walk-in closet in the room weeks ago, I didn’t want to waste the space so I decided to add some drawers in place of the old half closet.  As I said, I just started tonight so here is a picture of the frame- note that you will never see any of this after the 4 drawers are installed and I fill in the top;

I plan to start the week with a some last bathroom touchups while my girlfriend is at work. After these are completed I intend to start gutting the kitchen in preparation for my dad’s next visit this weekend- he is an electrical wizard so I’d like to have everything exposed so he can help me run all of the new plugs, switches, lights, etc. before we close up the walls.  I will continue to work on the small outstanding items in the other rooms during downtime and we are planning to refinish the rest of the floors the weekend of 27 July (my girlfriend will be out of town for 5 days).  Hopefully we will be done with the interior by the end of the month!
