Neph’s new house…
-
Nice!! How much more is there to go? …and full disclosure, lived in our house for 10 years and haven’t even touched the basement. It’s insulated and has a vapour barrier, but we put it off until the kids got older to decide how to use it.
Right now it’s the catch all, kids play area, craft area, and general f’n mess from all of the activities. Went down there the other day to get something, lost it, jumped on the motorcycle to cool down…two kids can write off an area quickly.

Ha! The kids will tear this place up pretty quick, no doubt. Ingrid will probably never go down there.
Two bedrooms are nearly done, the cellar lounge/tv/games room is half finished (ceiling, and half the walls left). There’s a hallway and a couple of storage rooms down there too.
It has been built up from a medieval dungeon by my own fair hand, and just the work to mitigate damp took months, so I’m not unhappy.

it looks excellent. Great work.

Thank you Sam!
So after over a year of living here I can finally declare the living room/dining room finished (except for for a tiny area of 6x18cm, honour and glory if you spot it).
To be fair it has been 90% done for ages but the entré needed fixing before I could install the door and finish the threshold between living room and entré.

BEAUTIFUL home nearing the finish line. Clean without being antiseptic, modern but still warm and homey, practical, comfortable… I know it's been a long painful journey but you have a lot to be proud of @neph93

Impressive poster of your IH collection @neph93 !!!
And a great job setting up such a good looking living room.

@motojobobo ha… indeed, although it would need to be a triptych to fit everything in I’m afraid. It’s a great piece of art actually. Are you familiar with it?
@endo tysm… and well done that small piece of flooring has to wait for the cellar stairs to be renovated.
@mclaincausey if you ever go old skool fundamental LDS and take more wives you can have mine. I read her your post and she melted. Apparently that was exactly what she was going for. Idk, I’m just the hired help

@neph93 Have you looked into infrared paint strippers? I actually have one (Speedheater 1100) and would be happy to let you borrow it if you want to cover shipping. It heats the paint to well below the temp that lead vaporizes and makes the process a bit easier although it's still not fun.
