Doors, Trim and Baseboards

We were able to order carpet last week. It should take 1-2 weeks to get here. It's time to get the upstairs done! Woo Hoo!

Saturday, August 3rd the kids were still at Grandma's Camp so it was just Kory and I. We had worked most our day outside on Friday and decided to take most of Saturday to play while the kiddo's were gone. We did get all 6 doors upstairs hung. 



Monday August 5, Kory cut all the trim pieces that go around the doors. For family home evening we hung out in our pool. School starts next week and we decided we needed one more "family night of fun" before school begins. 



Tuesday Kory and the older 3 were off to mutual so another night came and went without working on the house. Our carpet guy had told us he hadn't heard on our carpet so it would probably be another week. That's o.k we aren't quite ready anyways. 

Wednesday, August 7th Kory got the call our carpet had just been delivered to the warehouse in St. George. What??? We thought we still had another week! I'm not complaining really. Time to bust a move! We want to be ready to install flooring next week. 

And so Wednesday night we spent a few hours doing trim work. We were able to get all the trim pieces around all the doors complete. 


We also hung most of the baseboards in the family room. 


It's looking so good!



Thursday, August 8th
Maddie and I went around applying putty to all our nail holes in all the trim pieces around the doors and the baseboards that we got done the night before.  


Friday, August 9th
Several weeks ago we had a guy come and cut in our driveway to match our garage so it slopes now in the right spot for us to pull in. Kory also finished popping up the old broken sidewalk. We've been ready for concrete for a while now but our cement guy was away on vacation. Friday morning we got a phone call that the cement truck was on its way. Yippee!

Beautiful!


The plan was to paint all the baseboards and trim on Saturday so we spent Friday getting ready for the paint. 

Kylie and Mom sanding. 


Brayden helped sand too.


Emily put new spackle where we missed the day before. 


Then we spent hours and I mean hours taping off our walls! 


Saturday, Aug 10th 

 Kory and I laid out our bathroom flooring!
It looks so good. We hung the trim and then taped it off too. 

It took all day long but everything got painted and we were able to pull off the paper and tape that night just before midnight! We are going to be ready for carpet Monday morning!

All 6 doors for upstairs also got painted. They are sitting in my kitchen waiting for the carpet to be laid and then we can hang then all back up.
