I had the chance to play the same game with my husband on Monday night.
You see, our kitchen originally had some laminate floors that had been installed on plywood over the sub-floor. In preparation for installing the hardwoods we needed to remove the plywood to have an even sub-floor throughout. You would think it would have been a priority to check that the sub-floor was in good condition with some time to fix it before the floors installers arrived, right? Of course that is the logical way to do things but the hubby waited until 6:45pm the night before the installers were to arrive to rip out the plywood. This is what we ended up finding, water-damaged boards and a hole.
So I proceeded to play whack-a-husband while he scrambled to rip out the 1×6″ boards that had to be replaced and formulated his game plan to get it done before the installers showed up. That’s what he gets for waiting until the last minute to check on something like that 😉
Even with that little setback, we are making great progress with the kitchen. Everything has been patched up, primed and painted. So it is looking like this:
Instead of this:
As soon as the floors go in next week, we’ll start building the cabinets and move in the appliances which are currently hanging out in the family room.
*Disclaimer: No husbands were actually harmed during the replacing of our sub-floor.
Oh dear, I remember this well (as evidenced by my post the last two days, thank you for your comment). All I can say is I feel your pain and good luck!
Thank you! Your posts from the last few days give me hope. They are serving as my inspiration. 🙂
Wow, it’s getting worse and worse, what budget? What will be great is that you will know that everything is done right.
Nah, this isn’t something of a real concern. Just a few boards at a tune of less than $50 total had to replaced. The house is solid and has great bones so if these are the biggest bumps we face, we are in good shape.
Wow, sounds and looks like you guys have your hands full. You’ll appreciate all of the work that you put into getting your house to your standards.I have faith in you guys! We’ve been renovating for 2 years now and it’s still not finished. I often wonder if maybe we should have taken out a home equity loan for our projects, but no! We’re doing it a paycheck at a time lol. Our hardest project was our hardwood floors that we laid ourselves, but it was WELL worth it. Check out my blog to see if you get some time, it will be under the floors topic on the right. I’ll be back to check out your progress!
