my weekend project

[Pappy]

well i started with a 40 year old basement that needed to be overhauled on friday morning. i am not a carpenter so bare with me and any mistakes you might see...lmao:blah:

this is the stairs leading downstairs and they will have carpet come wednesday:D

[Pappy]

first wall i think ive ever built:eek:

[Pappy]

normally my dad would have done all this but his working days are over:(

[Pappy]

this room will also be carpeted wednesday. not a bad room for watchin tv and guzzlin beer:p (now if i can get the ol' lady to carry all the left over stuff out while im at hatfield ill be happerier then a puppy with 2 peters:D )

thats nice pal;)

[Pappy]

all thats left is touch up paint and trim work....and to level a few doors. the difference in house value from before will be about $35,000:eek2: so i think it was worth the hard work:D

[Chef]

Its always kinda fun to knock $hit around a little, isnt it? :D

[OutlawEX]

[Flip)(stick]

Pappy became a man! He built his first wall! *bows at his feet*

[tants]

building around the house sucks... i helped my dad re-do our 2 bathrooms, it sucks ripping up the old tile then taking everything out...

looks good kenny. is that the house you live now (in marlyland) or the new house you were buying... or bought? :confused:

anyways looks good. get cody and lil man to help you out ;)

Thats good Pappy or none of that work would be done! My dad is a carpenter... our house is 11 years old now, we build the whole thing, and guess what, we only got drywall 4 years ago, carpet 2 years ago, we only just got a kitchen... A carpenters house is never finished! It looks good Pappy, you wont want to get ride of it, lets see a pic of the out side, I have seen one, when you took a pic of your mail box, I beleive....

[Pappy]

[Pappy]

[JabberJaw]

Oh man, what do you do when you want to go back 'upstairs'!?!?!?!

Do you have another set of stairs that lead back up into the house?

[Doibugu2]

Looks good Pappy, but where is the stripper pole?

[SGA]

Looks really good everone! Dont feel alone, i have been working on the house just about every night and weekends for 6 weeks now. Some major projects. I said I would finish this SOB even if it kills me. I mean finished. Paint, trim, put the tools up and sit down finished. Almost done, very close. The new electric circuits are ran, fans/lights are up, painting is done, doors are in place, mini blinds are up, gutters are up, garage straight, yard looks good, privacy fence is up, patio almost finished.
I figuire if I keel over, the house will look nice for the visitors paying their respects. :ermm: I'm heading outside now to finish the yard side gate I built.

[250x#93]
