I realized that it would be easier to just live downstairs while I work on the whole upstairs, so I converted the living room into a bedroom by building a really shitty temporary wall with a door from upstairs. I had never really done any nailing for framing before, and I thought it would be pretty easy... I was very very very wrong, I think I bent more nails than I actually put in.
Since that original finish floor is extremely uneven, I pulled up some of the 1/4" OSB from upstairs and put it down here, you can tell which came from the master bedroom and which didn't from the infused plaster dust.
Then I moved that floating vinyl plank floor again, so this makes it the 3rd room it's been in.
Put up some contact paper on the wall around where I put my bed since it was dirty
Temporary closet
Also added some outlets since I don't trust the wiring in this room (the light flickers if its plugged into one of the outlets), as well as a light switch, and an outlet to plug the light into
And put up some plastic by the stairs to try and keep the dust out. This time I used some lath and screwed it in over the duck tape to keep it from coming off like it did upstairs.
Journey through remodeling my house. The original goal of this blog is to look back on the project 20 years from now, when pictures aren't enough to remember everything, and I thought this was easiest way to do it. But I'm regretting that since Blogger's interface is only getting worse. I only update this periodically even though I'm usually working on something and taking pictures.
