Very nice, Beanor.

Did you do the work yourself? If yes then super props!

Post by **Infinitiguy19** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:07 pm

Dude my sister has the same bedroom set that you have in the master bed room, cool.

Looks great! It appears though that cleaning up the mess made a bigger difference than installing the wood.

That sink is gorgeous.

Do you plan on updating the bedroom doors?

Post by **kornmanz** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 7:39 pm

Wow you're good. haha.

My dad built his house and I helped build that when I was younger. I know how hard flooring is. We put all travetine (sp) tile throughout the house. It was a b**** n a half. I'm sure wood was easier though hah.

WTF is this doing outside of the "Around the House" forum?!

Totally kidding Bean. It looks f***ing awesome. You took on a serious load and did a great job. I hope you're getting a lot of butt for painting the bedroom pink though.

Media room is my favorite. Nice and spacious. The hardwood floors in your house look amzing.

Good job man

BTW what do you think you saved by doing it yourself?

very nice man. i like it alot

With the pic you put up of the stairs your joining work on the carpet & wood looks outstanding! I know what a pita it really is.

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 10:59 pm

Nice work. You must have worked like crazy to get all that done so quickly.

I helped finish the basement in my parents house (including a full bathroom/laundry room and a bedroom) and it was a lot of work. That included framing, sheetrocking and electrical work, too, though, which was a big portion of the work.

Nice work Bean!

How was ripping up all the carpeting?

Post by **G_whizz** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:26 am

Nice job Beaner!

Is that "fuchsia" color on your Master Bedroom wall? It sure is purty

Seriously, you got alot done, saved yourself thousands by doing it yourself and it looks great!

I agree, the new bathroom sink is REALLY nice!! The floor looks great and yes, the bullnosing is a PITA.

Great job brosef.

The mess was from me already starting. It was spotlessly clean a couple days before that. I had been patching drywall, and running electrical and cable wires.

Definitely plan on replacing all the doors, but I'm a little low on $$$ now, so that will be in the future.

93coupe wrote:BTW what do you think you saved by doing it yourself?

Over $2k.

G_whizz wrote:Is that "fuchsia" color on your Master Bedroom wall? It sure is purty

Yep, the room is pink. So is...

So yeah, it was a week off of work, but hardly a vacation. I am happy with how it turned out, and my wife is really happy, so that is all that really matters.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Awesome job Bean, looks fantastic!

Post by **SteveTheTech** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 4:06 am

Looks good man. Not my kind of vacation. I stick to replacing fixtures.

I lack the patience to ever complete anything like that. I applaud your sticktoitivness.

Pink Walls = 0 points for manhood so your still ahead 10 for your completion of this task

good job

I choose not to show any incling of handiness so the bar is set low.

I know. I was just being flippant.

Ever think about changing those doors. I just install a real wood door on my bathroom. (it weighed a ton). I think i should stain it or something. I love helping my dad around the house. We also redid the tiles behind the kitchen wall.

good work noah. use your next vacation to do some work around my house. i have a jar full of peanuts to pay you with

Nice work, I plan on doing hardwood floors this summer. Any tips?

Post by **Beancooker** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:04 am

Get some good knee pads and a rubber mallet. A table saw and a compound miter saw make it a lot easier also.

Post by **Dattebayo** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:07 am

Sooooo...

What else did you do besides flooring and moving stuff around?

Post by **HashiriyaS14** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:25 am

YOU HAZ PINK WALLS

The Media room looks baller, nice work on everything. I might DIY some hardwood floors in my living room later this year.

Post by **ADDirishboy** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:31 am

Looks great noah!

I'm very impressed by it. Remodeling blows nutz, so I know how you must have felt doing all that.

Post by **Dattebayo** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:37 am

That's what i was asking about. I think calling it "remodeling" is a little bit of a stretch, I didn't see any walls come down, and the door frames are all original...

I don't mean to belittle your project, because it does look good, but it's definitely not "remodeling" as I know it.

Post by **ddgsxr504** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:47 am

Looks awesome Bean, I bet the woman is happy....

I love the flooring.

Post by **lets_GET_it_ON** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:34 am
