When Hick finished the front bedroom in Bargain House, he then started on the back bedroom. "It mainly just needs the carpet ripped out, paint, and a closet. We should be able to knock that out in no time, and then another room will be done." Let the record show that Hick and Old Buddy only work on the house three hours a day, four days a week. It's not like they're pushing to get done in a hurry.
The first picture of the back bedroom Hick sent was on April 3rd.
I'm not sure this is the picture Hick meant to send me. He said, "Windows in back bedroom trimmed." I only see one window, and it isn't really trimmed. Unless you count the wood around the top and side, making it ready for painting.
The next picture was April 9th. "Closet doors painted and installed back bedroom. Closet also painted on inside."
That looks pretty good for a closet. You can still see the carpet isn't torn out yet. The next picture on April 22 had carpet, also:
"Back bedroom painted and new door installed." Looks like Hick and Old Buddy didn't care about sloppy painting, since the carpet was their drop cloth!
On April 29th, Hick said, "Floor almost finished."
I like it. I really like it. As much as that Academy Award audience liked Sally Field. Also, you can see that Hick wasn't lying about the inside of the closet being painted. All this room needs it the trim, which was done the next day.
From April 30th: "Floor all done." Well. Except for that missing little strip of trim in the corner. I suppose Hick needed to cut a piece to fit. Also, you can see that indeed the window has been trimmed!
It was around this time that Hick noticed the problem with the sewer pipe outside, and started looking for a remedy.
Bargain House is coming along nicely.
Nice job, Hick and Old Buddy!! Beautiful flooring. Actually, a painted closet that looks really good. Everywhere I've ever lived the closets are "okay" but never freshly painted with decent paint. Even new constructed town home had possibly the poorest quality paint you could get in the early 90's possible. Not washable and forget scrubbing off any marks - went right to the sheetrock. A little quality paint job can go a long way in appearances. I really do like the flooring, and I don't generally care for darker colors on the floor. I like the variety in the pattern, I think.

ReplyDeleteI usually prefer lighter colors, but there's something about this flooring and the dark trim that seem right.
DeleteNice work.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Hick and Old Buddy have a talent for flipping.
DeleteThat is a really beautiful floor!! I like it so much.
ReplyDeleteIt really turned out well!
DeleteI really like that floor!
ReplyDeleteYou might describe it as "breathtaking," in the Seinfeld way.
