Slateman

upstairs laundry be money, slate.

There is no upstairs. Two bed room condo that is the bottom unit. Essentially, it looks like a town home, but the top two levels are one residence and the bottom level is another. It does have a small backyard though.

Very nice work Slatemen

 

Just a tip, don't waste your money on an HE washer.  Complete and total scam - just do some online research.

1- they do not clean your clothes

2- they are less reliable than a 85 Chevette

3- you WILL have mold.  Not maybe, definitely.  Mold problems.

 

They're supposed to be environmentally friendly, but I cannot think of a worse environmental option.  Replacing a piece of **** for $1500 every 5 years is not an environmentally friendly platform.  Period.

 

 

We recently bought Speed Queen commercial units.  It's amazing, they actually clean your clothes.  No circuit boards, no gaskets, no mold.  They will be illegal starting in 2017, if you want one you better get it now.

 

Thank you environmental assholes.

We don't know what we're getting yet, but knowing my wife, it won't be cheap. I want to stay around 1k for both units, so we'll have that out. Essentially, the more we spend on those now, the longer it's going to take to do the kitchen.

At this point, my plan is to keep the old appliances, but add in space when we re-do the counters/cabinets that we might need for more modern appliances. That way, I can save a little money each month for them and buy them as I go.

So this is the place as we got it. Moving our crap in:



There was some toilet repair that had to happen, but I can't find the pics. Essentially I had to replace the flange and then pour new concrete. Someone had chiseled it out from around the downpipe and then left the pipe unssecured. That plus the former tennants being quite large is probably what led to it being broke and water leaking out. So after that, the carpet in the living room pretty much had to go.


Had to cut out some drywall, as sit had mold. Double layer of 5/8" everywhere man. Sucks.

Also put some paint on the walls:



Hmmmm ... then I found this. Wasn't sure how to fix it.


Definitely going to need this:


And this fixes everything:


Kidding. Used Quikcrete.

Get a new floor in:




And of course, have to test out the new floors:


We got a new couch. Even Reddy doesn't like watching the Browns:


So this is the current kitchen:



Yea, the washer and dryer gotta go. Where could I move them ... hmmmmm


The coat closet by the front door? That is an excellent idea!!!



So the plan was this: Make the coat closet narrower by about 12 inches (36 inches to 24 inches). That area on the other side of the framing is actually the closet for the second bed room. The funny thing is that the closet actually goes beyond the front door AND that room has another closet on the other side. So, I have spare closet space. So we'll block off 48 inches and bump in to the room about 5 inches to make space for a stackable washer and dryer.


All cleared out, and putting the framing in. Concrete nail gun actually uses a gunpowder charge


Cutting in to the vent pipe that goes to the sewer.  Tested it with a hose and it'll take the water. Just have to work the piping around to the new laundry closet.

Framing it up nice:




Framing done, electrical routed, but not hooked  up


Dat plumbing:






Demo done
Closet re-sized
Laundry closet added
Bedroom closet framed in
Plumbing done
Drainage added

Only thing I have to do is add in the dryer vent and then drywall. Oh and drop like 1k on a new washer and dryer.
 

I am at Disneyland - did Wiz just get 4th quarter magic?

Nope

Almost

I'm sure after this we willl find out that Nene has some sort of shoulder injury.

Worthless, thy name is Nene

Do we really deserve to advance with Gooden playing big minutes with his matador defense and jacking up long jumpers?

Nope.

I feel like were up 3-1, internally.

Lol

In it until the end. Without Wall you can't ask much more than that.

Bummer

Everyone but Beal going ice cold

Beal is playing like a man possessed.

"Did you call bank?"

"I called GAME"

AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

Dagger

How is that not a charge!?!?!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!

Second time they've hit someonne's head to foul them.

Otto Porter with a clutch play

Getting kind of a bad feeling

Great ball movement

So nice to see some team defense

Okay, let's not fall in love with Nene now.

Oh, Mr. Porter, YOU PUT THAT AWAY. THERE ARE CHILDREN PRESENT!!!

I'm just using this as the bad/douche cop thread. Don't think this douche should necessarily be fired. He's just a douche.
