Lol

Solution for getting wood button out?

The stuff on the wall, not worried about. The tile? I should clean it right away but it will drop off

No product. Just a sponge. Little sale and pepper grout but it will probably come out? If not I have like 30 lbs of grout haha. Also, hot tips for Satanist

Welp, dipped my brush 3 times and that’s done. Now to hit the rest of the trim. Hard to tell but it is grey haha

Perfect! Just kidden. Think I’ll paint the walls now.

Oh, here’s the photo. Of the window. Working hard.

We may not have rollers. Which means I’m going to wait for @Lowes to get my shit together.

Anyone know anybody that’s good with design on a budget? Lol ...crown molding is expensive

I can’t wait for the people that never come over to say “how creative!” When they see the bathroom.

Started this too. Going to let it dry while I run to the store. Obviously there’s a problem with that little drippy cuz so I sanded that out and will repaint. The spray paint over spray, should be fine.

Apparently you have to scan your ID with a gift card at Home Depot. I’m not even really sure who’s ID it’s associate with.

Hey @HomeDepot the people, including the manager are extraordinarily rude at the 4028 Lawrenceville Hwy, Lilburn, GA 30047, the manager of the store came over to me and I started with “can you be nice” which he said he could not. @wsbtv like is this normal

I mean @HomeDepot I understand fraud prevention but I don’t understand being rude to people for no reason. Like being extra rude is a little odd. Like did I personally embarrass your entire company haha

Pulled the shower curtain rod out and will probably have to get a temp one because the one from amazon is taking a week and a half at minimum. It’s original to the house and mounted with screws. Found some interesting wall paper.

This is the part where we fast forward and the holes are patched and I wait for them to dry while waiting to sand down the patch stuff before painting.

Started sanding, paper got clogged so I washed it and am now waiting for it to “speed dry” while cooking spaghetti because I haven’t eaten today.

Got one coat of paint of this. Also got to the door and realized that I didn’t take the last towel rod off, took care of that and patched it. Sanded this paint drip down but it’s still kind of sanding out. Out of sand paper at the moment so it has to wait but the switch is great.

Realizing that steel wool works great for sanding haha

Painting, is hard work and it seems super hot in the bathroom.

Getting there

Kind of like the white trim but I fucked it up already so I guess I have to paint it.

The stuff from Lowe’s did change status to say “arrived at store” so that’s cool. I didn’t realize they where shipping it and I think the guy in their call center that the same thing. Maybe it will ready tomorrow. Which kind of works out anyway.

Well did a final touch up on the walls then to trim and put shit back together and hopefully get the hardware and finish up the cabinets. Be sure that missing spots and drips will be a 5 year battle that sounds constructive and fun. Because I’m 50 years old. Toilet tank removal?

I’ll start taping up for trim in like an hour or two. Pretty sure I have enough paint for it but may buy another quart tomorrow anyway.

I bought this cool grate cover but instead of measuring I thought it would be find to say “this one at Lowe’s looks the same so it must be the same size” and it’s about two inches too large :(

They also don’t have the same on in the right size. They have this that has a wall register in the photo but says floor register. Which seems kind of tricky. It’s also the wrong color but I could paint it.

Or I could get this pattern in the finish that matches that’s the same size and be done with it haha

Now to tape the ceiling. I bought a ton of tape but not much sand paper. Which is really annoying because the sand paper is important. Also 95% sure I need more cyber grey but it’s like right on the edge! Need to repaint the windows anyway though.

Welp, another coat on the door and the window, ceiling taped and I think I’m calling it a day.

This toilet worked fine the 3 times I flushed it last night and once this morning but just now it started hissing. I took the valve off and reseated going to check again but my assumption is that this valve, that wasn’t touched in the removal process has mysteriously gone bad.

Nice. Tim the tool man over here.

My aunt is contentiously amazed that basic home repair is within my grasp. The entire internet exists and I’ve been living on my own since 18.

I’m pretty sure I have enough paint for the second coat of trim but I’d like to paint this window frame too. I think. I don’t know, debating on spending the 20 bucks for a second small can of cyberspace or whatever this color is. Lowes, please?

Well, I have this much of the darker left and I want to paint the window in my room and possibly the door. I don’t know what’s up with Lowe’s so I bought some sand paper too for ‘antiquing’ the cabinets.

The guy forgot to ring out my sandpaper which I noticed when realizing how much the can of paint was and at first thought maybe it was on sale. Just as well because I grabbed the fine out of the medium box and grabbed the right one. I mean, it’s really no rush on the hardware.

How is this like the most fun I’ve ever had?

Might put some clear on these. We have some spray clear but I’m not sure about it so I’ll paint the backs, test and then decide on it. Like the finish though.

Haven’t wiped it off after sanding so a wet paper towel might bring up the dull

Note to self: buy an electric sander the next time you think this is great idea

On this one, it’s almost, as if, the paint isn’t dry haha but given the finish type, it’s not really an issue ...

These look pretty cool. Did a quick wet sand with Diet Coke. I guess that’s a Ron Swanson thing to do. Going to paint the back and then test the spray varnish and they should hopefully be good to go with that and put them back on the vanity. Still have the drawers to do.

In a shocking revelation, stick with me hear if you’ve got 5 min of focus, it takes more paint to cover white, using a dark color, than black.

This is what we have for like a top coat. The shit on my hand is the stuff on the left. Personally I liked the high sheen look they had when I rinsed the dust off so I think I’ll grab some high gloss varnish of some sort.

Oh the photo helps

Lol so I thought about getting a can, decided to get Krylon clear glaze that they said they had in stock and didn’t and ended up with this. Also, Walmart

This shit is poppin haha

Lol twitter doesn’t like this photo for some reason so I took a picture of a picture of what I had in line ->? ^

The dude in front me had a dollar sign on his neck habaha

Some how this one was way easier to sand.

Added some paint to the one on the end but they look really cool. Should dry soon and then I’ll do another coat. I vastly over estimated the amount of clear I would need while creeping around Walmart

It’s almost like there’s an ascetic

Maybe I’ll get hardware tomorrow, finish out the cabinets, do touch ups and clean everything?

In addition, I’m not sure this is “bathroom paint” but I don’t know how that works so I’ll try to not get it wet haha

Uha oh

Lol so, since a mysterious figure appeared in the wall patch. I’m once again sanding and repainting. Also the drop stood out. Used steel wool, seems mostly smooth. Better than it was and idiot free

Neat. I think I’ll keep it as such.

Much better.

Not to like toot my own horn too much but damn this is looking good.

Mike wolf called and said my shit was dope haha

Honestly, I probably should purchased a can of varnish but I was thinking the spray was faster drying. I tried to fuck up the spray just a little. No idea what it will turn out like but I think it should be good. Affixing the doors shortly and then going to Lowe’s with the aunt.

Now that’s a wild light switch cover!

Haha no weird shapes.

It’s art

Oh wow, it’s like a running gag

Lowes order

When your like “I need to paint these screwed since there’s a bag of them missing. Better leave them in a puddle of water overnight on the plastic you painted them on to make sure it looks authentic” haha

So, the new screws are slightly smaller than the old screws and I’m for sure going to have to use wood filler in them to make sure the screws hold. But the cabinet looks great.

All right, while the wood fillers drying, I’m going to get breakfast and should maybe feel bad about because I’m chubby and out of work but I don’t feel bad about it because I work my butt off to try and stay in shape and have done a lot in the past year or so.

I’m going to give this wood putty a little longer you dry and start installing the hardware. Visually it makes a big difference in the entire presentation. We changed out the light fixture a while back so it’s chrome and doesn’t match the new stuff perfectly but that’s fine.

So these things are kind of tricky and mount with a clean look. They have a tapered Allen head inside that mounts a bracket mounted to the wall. This one took about 15 mins and I had to back out the screw on the bracket to it get it to mount correctly. Pros are probably aware $$

Well that’s installed and I think I’m figuring out how this works. Obviously will still have to clean up this giant mess in the aftermath but I’m pretty sure I can manage it. For better or worse lol ok

Changed the position of this. Didn’t like where it was before. Is it too close to an electrical outlet to not be dangerous? Possibly. I did order a new light switch cover and will repaint the grey around this one and do a similar mat black, sand and gloss on a copper base.
