I am now officially out of money

[SPJ]

Yep. I am now broke.

In the past 3 months, I have gone thru sooo much money. Here's the total so far. It's sad considering I am still nowhere near done.

Bathroom = $2,000
Furniture = $3,200
Carpeting = $1,200
Marble Fireplace = $1,800
New ceiling fan, lights, doors = $800

I still need paint and some ceramic floor tiles.

I hope most of this can be written off at tax time so I can recoup some money to do the roof and chimney.

Wow! That is an outrageous amount of money to have gone through! Atleast to me it is LOL I bet your house looks beautiful now though! Best of luck in finishing it up

Nope. Lots of manual labor. The ceramic tile was easy to put down and sheetrock and painting isn't too tough. I had a professional do the connections and fistures but other than that, all the materials are available at Home Depot and Lowes.

Lookin' good! How bout some more pics

[SPJ]

I will. Something isn't working right with the memory card manager on the PC. I load the card and it tells me it can't read it.


As soon as I figure it out, I'll post pics of the new living room with the carpet, furniture, and redone fireplace.

I already saved this pic.
This is the pic of the good part of the floor in the living room right after I ripped the old carpet out. Couldn't save the hardwood. Too much damage in places to refinish it.

[ZEKESMOM]

Oh Who ever did that to those beautiful floors should be shot I just don't understand why people can't see the beauty in wood floors. Sorry you could not save them. Look forward to the pics of the new and improved living room

[SPJ]

They ruined them. Black stains, paint, gouges. I would have loved to have been able to refinish it but due to the amount of damage, the entire floor would have had to have been replaced. A bit too expensive so I went with carpeting.

I don't get what some people think at times.
