Upstairs plaster work

This will be the girls room. Here you see how the cracks have been opened and the plaster secured to the studs and then the same wall thathas then had the base coat applied. The opposite wall picture is a few hours after the top coat has been applied. It will continue to lighten over the coming days to a violet color.    These are the suite bedroom across from the girls room.     . Some shots of the third bedroom being prepped and Harris working on the living room floor.  

Living room floor

  Hey look, there's Harris pulling up the living room floor!      We decided to admit that we need a new floor in the living room. We didn't have enough to salvage and patch in the oak from the dining room and make it not look stupid. As Harris pulled it out, it became clear this is a good decision. The space behind him and to the left it totally rotten - oak, pine, and subfloor. Had we patched in, we would have had a horribly unstable floor.        We are trying to re-home the pine and oak to neighbors who need wood for patch work. Harris then has to lay plywood for the subfloor before Genia at Accent can come back and lay a new oak floor that will match the dining room and transition nicely to the entry/hallway.

Living room color

Top coat of plaster should go in the living room this week. We then have the two windows to repair, rehang the light fixture, and replace/sand/seal most of the floor.  THEN!!!! We have a living room and dining room instead of 'couch room'!!! Color for living room plaster tint
