Pretty much completely excavated - That tiller is an absolute life saver. Sore as a mofo, but that part of the pain is done!
Now to actually source some HPB stones somewhere...
Well, I am full aches and pains right now!
Just put down about 150 sq ft of laminate flooring, and still have 175 sq ft to go,. On top of laying the laminate there was ripping out the old carpet and that is only half done as well. And then there will trim.. more climbing and bending...ow, ow, ow.
My advice to all of you: getting older sucks!

Going to quote myself because ...well... I feel for you guys LOL
I finally finished setting up my sons bedroom. Wall mounted TV - set to treehouse....New crib set up, new canopy hung and home made wonder bumpers (aka pipe insulation) which saved me about $180
Also started to tackle cleaning out the garage as it magically became a disposal room during the renos. Cut up about 50 lbs of cardboard boxes, grouped all the scrap hardwood, baseboard, and shoe mouldings, tiles, etc. and stored them for future emergancy repairs.
Then I found the previous owners left me some old tools, drill bits and a torque wrench
lol wow... too tacky... that belongs in the 80s :p
LOL- but a happy wife = happy life ... Timeless
i like it. with the grey walls looks very comtemporary and chic.

I know your pain bro!, just did my condo; Had to rip out the old carpet and vinyl tile and installed engineered hardwood (including under-padding) and tiled the entrance and kitchen with porcelain tiles- 890 sq. ft. in total. Still need to do the qtr. rounds though....giving my knees a break.

Looking good Eric. We're done with the reno too. Just have to put up before and after pics and buy furniture.

Thanks. My only concern is if the current style becomes outdated - and I'll have to remodel all over again
Flooring is a PITA.
I went with the squarer shoe moulds rather than the quarter rounds. I found it matched the 5" baseboards nicer
Thanks!
Can't wait to see the progress with your place
Furniture shopping is fun - right up until the bill comes LOL

The chandelier is in the "formal" dining room that I never go in anyway.
But in all honesty - I don't mind it that much - compared to the other ones that were out there.
Mr. Trump would like that chandelier.
In other news, I sanded, spray washed, wet sanded, washed then painted my garage door. Got the behr paint from HD.
Patio area dug, filled with HPB, and tamped. Now just need to summon the inner strength to lay down 40 patio slabs
It's been a while, but my last home improvement was update of main bath in March.
Our house is pretty small (~1100 sq ft), so also small bathroom. The total cost was about $1300. This included removing old vinyl flooring, adding a layer of plywood, installing marble tiles, plumbing work for both toilet and vanity (including re-routing drain pipe), installing new door and trim, new toilet, vanity, faucet, and mirror. We got a cheap vanity from HD (my wife's idea)
Before (yes we were missing a vanity door - it fell of; the baseboard trim was there I just got too excited with work ):
After:
Hopefully the image links work.

Thanks guys, it was a bit of work with those tiles!
Impressive work @r4BBiT especially if you did the tilework yourself. Do anything else yourself? Or did you do everything yourself?
Jackal: I did everything myself including tiles, which took me like 8-10 hours to cut all of the pieces. Marble is 3/4" thick but can crack very easily so had to go very slowly as I had exact amount I needed (got the tiles on sale)
Great job @r4BBiT, did you use a wet tile saw or just the hand cutter? whats that furry thing growing on top of your toilet seat?
