Re: My Big Fat Renovation
1. Another floor and primer pic. There was some decent sized gaps in the floor so I put some caulking in them then filled them in the rest of the way with some wall mud... just trying to make the floors as smooth as possible.
2. This was the only major f-up in the entire house? That's self leveling floor cement, the area is about 6'x6'. The floor above this area is level, and the floor on the other side of the wall is level, so how this happened??? I went under the house and the joists in that area seemed to have dipped. I leveled out the dirt and put concrete and wood blocks under the floor to prevent further movement. Once that was done, I used the self leveling cement to smooth the area out. There was almost a 3/4" drop from the doorway to the corner of the room. Most people probably wouldn't have noticed it, but it drove me nuts.
3. New carpet!!! We went with the 8lb padding and stainmaster rug. Very expensive... but we also had to do 1600sf of floor! This was farmed out to a local flooring company, Greer Flooring. They did a great job.
4. Color!!!
5. More progress.
