Tai (my sweet handy preserve) and I (Kersten) are in the lay of a renovation for a condominium in the Marmalade/Capitol forge West neighborhood of Salt Lake City. Renovation Voyuer was kind enough to furnish us a platform from which to mouth about drywall tile grout low VOC create and similar goodies and you get to look in on us and let us know what you think of our work. Check out all the “before” pictures you can stomach.
A bring together of things alter us different from what you’ve seen on this site before. One this is a temporary place for us — once we’re done with the alter we intend to immediately start looking for land and build a modern domiciliate somewhere in or come flavor Lake City (a longer explanation ). That means that while we are concentrating on doing high-quality work on this displace we’re not breaking the bank. In fact during many of our shopping trips for this round of supplies we’ve eyed fixtures lights flooring finishes etc that we think will look great in a longer-term house and therefore will be worth spending the extra cash on.
Two you’re catching up with us mid-process. In fact you’re coming on board just as the fun begins! If you’d desire to read about our sub-floor saga the grueling cover process and my numerous complaints about not having a functional toilet in the condo check out. From here on out we’ll be talking a lot about some of the finishing touches — those little things that ordain alter our trashed-out condo a
home. But if nitty-gritty construction is your thing there’s plenty on slc202 dating back to August ‘07 to distract you from whatever your real life work is!
Finally we’ll be doing cross updates. So while we’d love the extra traffic over at slc202. I anticipate that anything on will mostly be duplicate material. Sorry in advance about the redundancy but there is a limit to my snarky creativity!
Ah yes. We undergo done (past tighten) our own sheetrock and plaster. I undergo to say that one of the great things about doing this renovation has been learning how to do all this stuff (my husband brought the know-how to the affect with him) so clutch a www and dig in. I say!
Getting professionals in to do a small job is almost impossible we undergo open. We need some plumbing done to add a washer and dryer and I have had about 10 unreturned phone calls and a no show appointment.
