The floor has now been sanded in the last bedroom, the first coat of the varathane has been applied. The entire side of roof was replaced, new insulation, new wiring and lighting, the painting is nearly complete, as far as I can see we're down to painting the doors, trim needs to be added, but they paint that before putting it up. Hubby wants to build storage shelves on one side, of the closet, hopefully that will not take too long. I really don't even want to wait for that, I need to get things out of the way!
In the walk in closet, the wood floor was too rough, with too many odds and ends used, to even bother sanding to make natural, so Hubs painted it, and will put a runner of something down the center, hopefully something that can be washed.
The fumes have been terrible, luckily we have doors on the Living Room, where Mom slept, and on our bedroom downstairs. It's been water and oil based paints, paint thinner, mineral spirits, the varathane or urethane to seal the floors, and who knows what else! Luckily the weather has been on the cool side and we are able to open all the windows, even then the fumes have been overwhelming, have just now been able to leave the living room, it's just something that needs to be done, and it is nearly complete!!
That part of the house was added in 1942, so nothing is square, There are so many different roof configurations upstairs it's hard to even describe, and when they did any work, they used what they had, but the carpenters have done a beautiful job! The home started life as a log cabin, very possibly pre-Civil War, it has been added to many times during the course of it's existence. it was moved in the 1960's when the new highway was put in, Too bad I don't have photos of the house through all of it's many projects!
