I've got one bedroom left to do, if you want to lay some more flooring...Spent the weekend installing new laminate up at the cabin. Sadly I didn’t pick the color because I don’t like the way it looks with the walls now but the floor looks great haha

Looks like a nice space for the indoor simLots left to do, and it’s been a learning experience, but man it’s been fun. Have to replace about 10 more feet of sill plate I didn’t think I would, and then frame in the last window. After that, can start sheathing the outside
Don’t mind the tree limbs I still havent trimmed yet, waiting until I get to working on the roof. And don’t judge me, I’m learning as I go

Haha, too short of ceilings or I’d have already claimed it. Was an old outbuilding, now it’ll be an office for the Doc and her LLC.Looks like a nice space for the indoor sim
Previous owners cut no corners, it just sat empty for a few years after they passed. It’s nice now that I’m stay at home I can actually start doing all these projects. After this, golf cave is nextOn a slab, too. Lucky.
Golf cave may need its own thread! Once we find out if my wife will do fellowship or become an attending physician and we determine if we need to move again, that’s at the top of my list!Previous owners cut no corners, it just sat empty for a few years after they passed.

I've got a 10x14 Lark shed on blocks for hte mower and other yard stuffs. This county apparently waffles on if sheds need permits or not, so its set up that if someone did happen to see it in passing, they would assume it is since its blocked and anchored. I'd love to eventually clear out some space in the back for a pole barn at least. Just something covered outdoors with some actual space.Previous owners cut no corners, it just sat empty for a few years after they passed.

Has anyone converted a shower/tub to a shower stall? I’m not sure I can take it on or if I want to invest much funds into the tiny master bath that we intend to not have as the master if we renovate the house in the future.
My parents removed the bath and installed a shower when my dad started having problems with his hip as he couldn't really manage getting in and out of the bathHas anyone converted a shower/tub to a shower stall?

They got someone in to do the job but I don't know how much it cost them as it was a number of years ago, but I don't think it was too difficult to do as the pipework and waste were left in the same place, so it was more just a case of fitting the shower and tiling it
Great plan to use the roof as a work level to trim up those branches.... just a small piece of advice from experience..... Don't reach out too far!Lots left to do, and it’s been a learning experience, but man it’s been fun.

Hahaha, yeah, the renovation road to the end is always brutal. The Doc and I lived in the living room for 3 months when she was pregnant with the twins as we had the bedroom half of the house redone and it was brutal. But thank goodness we still had the kitchen hahaNow 4 months in the basement with a hot plate, a Ninja 5 in 1, a hotel fridge, a rarely used crockpot and a microwave and weekends at the laundromat. Today we got a fridge, a washer and dryer (functioning) and a dishwasher (not yet). Reading the manuals now, says don't plug fridge in with wet hands and don't stare at the LED lights, Test run by installers with the washing machine didn't flood the basement, all good. Light switches in the bedroom, 2 work and 3 don't, We're getting there and nobody is dead yet, but if completion doesn't come soon, there are no guarantees.

We moved our shower over to where the tub used to be and created a larger shower. However, we hired a professional because we are not capable of a project like that so I can't say if it is worth it if you are doing it yourself. The extent of my handyman abilities was replacing all the door handles and hinges on every door in the house. I was, and still am, so proud of myself for that haha.
@Jman you say you're learning as you go. Are you youtubing a bunch of framing videos or just looking at the studs and saying "I'm gonna do this!" and make it happen?
@GolferGal what's the trick you learned to change out the hinges? Was it to only do them one at a time or did you make the mistake would have and taken the first 2 doors completely off the hinges before realizing the one at a time thing would work better? Assuming that the hinges fit into the mortises in the door frame
