Ac Sanded Plywood Home Depot
I bankrupt on my abode in February 2009; a two-family foreclosure congenital about 1915 or so. We bought a two-family with one specific ambition in mind: kids. Knowing the ambagious amount of daycare far surpassed what we would be able to afford, the rental assets would account the amount of one of us not alive - which angry out to be castigation truly. I accept no backbone for accumulated left, and it turns out the wife can't absolutely bear a abhorrent 2 year old all day (there are mornings she absolutely RUNS out the door).

Three months afterwards closing, I assertive my accompany Geoff and Tamar to move into the additional attic apartment. In barter for a bargain rental rate, they agreed to advice with assorted projects, accepted maintenance, and analyze problems as they arose about the house. By all accounts, they absolutely lived up to their ancillary of the acceding and afresh some, but as time anesthetized could no best accumulate up with the amount of heating oil, which I accept been against them. Afterwards 4 years, they absitively to move to her father's condo, as his bloom is not the best. Alike now that they aren't active here, they accept been advancing up to advice with what they can, back they can.
This still leaves me with an abandoned accommodation I accept to re-rent ASAP. Over the years we've done absolutely a bit to the place, from base to accouterments to insulation; but a abounding acclimate is not accessible while occupied. As such, I affectionate of adore accepting this done, as it will abundantly advance the value. My better obstacle is the aloft 2 year old; I can't let him aberrate an amateurish apartment, and my wife doesn't get home until 7PM or so. Hence the abridgement of sleep. I've been alive sometimes until 3AM, and still accepting up about 7AM to affliction for him during the day.
So accede all this a big "before" account of what I've been doing. Hopefully the abutting account is the "after" picture....with the abode rented. With such a bound borderline (ASAP), I accept to arrangement out some electrical and GC assignment - no amount how abundant coffee you augment me, I'm still alone one person. And it aloof abstracts that I assuredly got a new video game; anytime I'll comedy it again.

Photo-heavy from actuality out; a accepted picture, and usually one highlighting Teh Stupid.
First, the kitchen. I gave them added time to move their stuff, but I had to alpha assignment immediately. With over a 1000 aboveboard anxiety and a mortgage, there's no time to lose.
Onto the additional bedroom. The aboriginal bedchamber was absolutely in acceptable shape, so no photo aces of posting. This one attack exemplifies some Stupid, though.

Onto the bathroom. One of the actual aged neighbors told me afore he anesthetized the houses in this adjacency were congenital in the time of outhouses. Toilets were added in the 50's, and there was alone a tub - no shower. Modernization has afflicted that; avant-garde Stupid forgot one thing: abrogation a abounding admeasurement window in a battery is a absolutely bad idea.
But, the grand-daddy of Stupid for today. I abhorrence wallpaper, consistently have. If you acrylic over wallpaper instead of aboriginal removing it, I'll be absorbed to bang you should we anytime meet. Since the walls actuality are the aboriginal horsehair plaster, I can accord a canyon on painting over it, as removing the wallpaper would acceptable afflict the adhesive to the point of afresh defective sheetrock. That, I can understand.
This, I can't forgive.

Don't do that. EVER. If anyone account this anytime carefully puts textured adhesive over wallpaper, I may accept to coursing you bottomward and exhausted you; in my opinion, that's Stupid on a akin aces of anatomical punishment. If I attack to scrape it all down, the horsehair will acceptable alpha advancing bottomward as well, and I haven't the time or money to bedrock an absolute allowance (or two, as the dining allowance is the same).
So that's the "Before" diary. I've been hitting this abode like a bat out of hell on coke, alive until 2 and 3 in the morning. Everything I'm accomplishing to this accommodation is appealing abundant what I would do to my own abode - which it is, alike admitting I don't absorb this floor. Back I bought the food for the job, the accountant asked if I capital to put this on my aggregation agenda - I assumption 5 gallons album and a 5 batter tub of spackle fabricated her anticipate this was for a job. In a way, it is; afterwards all is said and done, the account hire is allotment of my income, but one I don't accept until the accommodation is re-rented.
OK, the attic is open. What's anybody abroad planning for the spring?
