Floor and Wall Prep

We've taken out the carpet in the lower living room and prepped the walls. There were tons of walls with water damage that was just painted over. We've fixed those and replaced a spot in the walls where they literally put paper on a fist sized hole and painted over it... There was also a spot where there was a small hole in the driveway, which they patched with a wall height 2x4. What.

The carpet and pad under it had to come up, in addition to the wood strips around the edges. The walls will all be painted grey, we decided on Dorian Grey. The dry bar was going to come out, but then it was difficult, so we're keeping it and painting it white. The trim around the whole painted area will be painted white as well.

We are getting white base boards, and Dad has worked up some cool tall base board idea for the sunken living room area. We should be painting tomorrow and the next day, and floors start immediately after. Everyone around the house has been pitching in and doing a great job, and my Dad and Elizabeth have helped as well. Pictures below!

And I found a lottery ticket from 1992, the year I was born.
