A busy day!

As you know, I got my keys at lunch time. I ran over to the house real quick and found that the smoke alarms had not been installed. According to my inspector, the seller has to install smoke alarms in each room before closing. The seller had agreed to install them. Now they are saying that it's not required by law if the house was built before 1992. So, my realtor is going to call the fire department tomorrow and ask. On my paperwork for the request for repairs, the seller had agreed to get it up to code; so I really hope they follow through on this. There is one smoke alarm in a house that is 2050 square feet. My daughter and I spent the last 3 hours cleaning windows, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, etc. There are about 6 windows that are painted shut, so I'll try and tackle those tomorrow.

What the dining room looked like during my walk-through.  All the walls, windows, wainscoting and plate rails  are now stripped of paint.  The plan is to sand all the wood down,  and use an oil to bring it back to life.  I would love to shellac it,  but that would probably cost a fortune.  After I paint, it is going to look similar to this.  I am going to distress the beams, so...

LD Weekend ~ part 4

Image
The bathroom door looks so much better!  It took about 2 hours to get it this pretty. There are some stubborn bits of paint in the crevices, but nothing the sander won't fix. Hopefully, I won't wait 2 more years to do that.... I cannot make any promises. I may not be doing any paint stripping today. My oldest daughter and I are going to a movie at 11:00 a.m. We are going to watch ' If I Stay '. There will be popcorn and nachos involved, and possibly a couch afterwards.
