Timeline to Keep Me On Task

Ron, Ron, Ron. Found out our garage is tore up after Ron came by and attempted to install our brand new Whisper Drive. Sigh, I guess this is where I will tell everyone that things are never what you expect so give yourself a good cushion when budgeting and making renovations/decisions. I guess it is good to know after Ron is done, I will have a brand new garage [funcionality wise] for the fraction of the price. Another lesson here, don't install things unless you know what you are doing [I know...I have no clue what I am doing, but at least I watch 10 YouTube videos and ask a bunch of people before I try =X], the original owner installed the tracks too close to each other, resulting in the motor exploding due to its repeated attempt on closing the door. 

On a lighter note, before:

After [well not 100% after, I still got some scraping, ok a LOT of scraping to do]:

I have no clue what on earth these people were thinking, I guess if this room was used for a retro porno shoot, that wall would be cool. But then I would need a handlebar mustache and sideburns. Wait I got both... I ripped off the wood today and started peeling away at the glue/paint underneath. It is a pain, but it should be done by the end of the week. I am going to put this aside because I will be spending my day up here tomorrow:

First of all, yes that is the attic, but that is not the importance of this photo. That is called: FIRE HAZARD. Sigh, I will clean that up tomorrow and start the installation of my first 4 recessed lighting fixtures. I am not going to lie to you, if I had to take odds, I'd say I am a 1:3 long shot at making this perfect, but that is why we are using my room as an experiment before I get to the kitchen and living room. After borrowing 100 things from Peter this evening and asking hundreds of last minute questions. I am fully prepared. However, if I get electrocuted and die, anyone who is a follower of this blog at the time of death will be entitled to $1,000 each.  How are you going to get that money? Who knows, just follow me. Thanks.

Finally, some real work! Tomorrow should be a big step as no longer am I just performing monkey tasks, but actually going to be working on something useful. 

Quick timeline [this also helps keep me on track]:

Recessed Lighting 4/24

Sliding Door Install 4/24

Texture/House Ready For Paint 5/1

Interior Painted [yep, this is when YOU are going to get a text] 5/8

Tiled and Floored 5/15 [fck, forgot baseboards, whatever]

Bathrooms/Windows fit somewhere in between there.

Move In: When my toilet flushes and soda flows out of my sink [hint of future addition].

Yep, copper piping to the upstairs bathroom. Done.

Goodnight, pray for me that 110V isn't lethal.
