Pretty much finished

At last!

Just have to get the A/C installed this week and that'll be about it. We had a final push on Saturday to get all clean and painted.

Here's some pics



Bedroom after stripping
Completed bedroom

Living room mid-renovation before the wall was changed
Grim kitchen as we bought it. The sink cabinet was soaked from years of leaks. and underneath was covered in half an inch of a black mold.  The stove leaked and the walls were just concrete render. Not nice. 

Kitchen during renovation. The moldy parts of the kitchen cabinet were removed, as  were  the wall cabinets
Kitchen from the back door during renovation
Kitchen - the other side


Kitchen now with the small walls removed and a fresher look

Hallway into kitchen
Living room as we bought it. All the walls were covered in the thin plywood that's meant to look like wood. No heating, a cheap folding PVC door covered the closet. At least the windows were new and in good shape, but that was about it.
Living  room showing closet and bedroom doors as we bought it. complete with  mildew-y carpet

Living room with the closet door on the right and bedroom door on left.
Living room now. New Fan, lights, floor, etc.

Hall/kitchen as we bought it

Living room and hall towards kitchen. See custom-made shelves in the nook.



Bedroom wall showing the bathroom
Bathroom as we found it. A leak had happened in the bathroom above and caused the ceiling to collapse into the one below.

Old bathroom sink including ceiling debris

During restoration. This was after the bath was removed and the source of the ant-damage discovered. They were nesting in the dirt patch around the drain. I poisoned them, then covered the area with thin-set concrete.


Completed bathroom. Better.


Closet showing smaller closet within. New folding doors.
