Friday was another successful day at the flip house! Kyle was able to join the guys today for a few hours of work, and they were able to finish up the siding, soffit, and fascia on the garage. They had a little bit of a hiccup at first as they had to spend about an hour drilling some concrete away from the base of the garage so they could start the siding. None of us have any idea why there was concrete poured on that side of the garage. One of the many things that had been done in this house that we can't quite figure out.
After the work on the garage was finished, the guys went over to our house for some leftover meatloaf for lunch. I have to make sure all these guys' tummies get fed! :)
Later the same night, Chad, Cory, and I went over to the flip house to do some more destruction work. We have our big dumpster in the driveway until Monday, and we wanted to make sure we had it completely filled for our money's worth. We ripped down some old sheetrock in the kicken and the boys tore up three layers of flooring. We have some mold and rot in the subfloor underneath the dishwasher. I love how these people didn't care if they had leaking water all over the floor and just let it go. I assume we will find plenty more of these type of situations as we go.
Due to the mold, we all wore masks as we were working in the kitchen tearing up the floor. I got some dandy pictures of the three of us all decked out in our surgeon's best...:)
I decided to have some fun with the hammer tearing down some sheetrock. The guys had to help me with the higher parts of the wall.
Once we got the sheetrock torn down around the windows, we discovered another form of idiocy with one of the previous owners. We think that where the windows are now, there used to be cabinets. At some point, the cabinets were removed and the windows were installed...if that's what you call it. Cory gave us a short tutorial on how a window is supposed to be installed, and he showed us all the wrong ways these windows were installed. Check out the pictures below to see for yourself.
All in all, it was a very productive night. I ended up being on the phone with my bestie Jessica for about an hour, and then I was on the phone with Mom for about 40 minutes while the guys worked in the kitchen and chatted away like little old ladies...haha! They sounded like they were having a good time. I ended up heading home before the guys, who stayed after midnight to get the entire kitchen floor torn up. They did an excellent job!
Cory and Chad went back to the flip house the next night in order to get a few more things "destructed" for the dumpster. Kyle has been saddled with a bad head cold, so he was not able to join then. The dumpster is adequately full now and should be good to go tomorrow! This afternoon, the boys are going to head to Menards to pick up the appliances for the house. Woohoo!! Our cabinets should be in next week, so things are starting to pick up pace. Hopefully a lot of pieces will start falling into place over the next month. It should be a lot of fun!
