Sweet!
If you prime it with two coats and paint it with 2/3 coats it will turn out fine, did it in my house where the guy went insane using that shit 70’s wood paneling. Looking good so far , keep up the never ending work! btw we used the same color in our kitchen and it took 4 coats lol fml
Slacking on updates but I have some backlogged pics.
I painted my back hall too, but I guess I didn’t take after photos, here’s the before:
This is how the front foyer turned out. It’s also the one I pissed in completely drunk…and yes the green curtains are ugly as fuck.
Had Clever Construction (Sobo) handle 5 of my windows.

(Will get some more of the inside)
Need to get more pics of other stuff, got some assistance from Cougarspeed with Installing quarter round in the whole first floor.
Worked all yesterday with my in-laws to remove two evergreen bush stumps, a gaggle of bushes, another side bush growing under a fence, a metal laundry pole encased in concrete and buried.
Here’s the laundry pole in the back right…probably had 3’ of concrete holding it in place.
Bushes when we bought the house
After being cut down…Need to call and have two of these stumps removed professionally.
lol, we both went ape-shit on tearing out some hideous bushes this weekend. I’m so friggen excited every time I pull in my driveway and get to enjoy the lack of hedges right against the right side of my driveway. It’s sad that such a simple thing makes me so happy but good lord I hated those hedges for a plethora of reasons and nothing was more enjoyable then ripping and tearing those things out with a chain and my trusty Ferd truck.
They should come out with a chain & a truck. Or even an axe. Shrubs don’t usually have big root structures.
Lol…we got our two of them. But the other two are incredibly hard to get at. We were swinging shovels, axes and even a nice 18" chainsaw at these mother fucks and they weren’t having any part of it. The one has roots that go straight down so chopping them is a pain in the ass.
If anyone want to volunteer to pull these out with their truck and chain, feel free (not responsible for damages to your truck that may happen). I need to call and have a stump grinded anyway so I’m just having them quote me for these bushes as well.
chainsaw’s should never come in contact with dirt, the immediately dull. I used a sawzall with a 10" wood blade on it instead. Most shrubs DO have a root that goes straight down (the tap root)…either have to dig under the root cluster and get to the tap root to either cut it or dig it all the way out, or just get a good chain on there and yank away with a truck.
We cleared away most of the dirt before cutting, and we used a electric one whenever possible and a gas one for the bigger stuff. We cut through a few roots that were probably 5" thick. The two that were removed had roots that spread out. Worked pretty well digging, cutting the roots around the base and prying those suckers up. The last two I’d have to dig probably another 2ft to get under it. These are 60+ year old evergreen bushes btw. I’m thinking the only way they are coming out is grinding them down or hooking up a truck to them. Neither of which I can do myself.
