After 3 1/2 weeks, the condo remodel project is done. It was a lot of hard work on everyone's part but the condo looks 100 percent better now than it did.
Once the painting was done, Melissa had laminate flooring installed everywhere except the bathroom. When we looked from the hallway to the bathroom, it quickly became apparent that the linoleum had to go. Melissa chose to have the bathroom floor tiled and with her Dad's free labor, it didn't break the bank. Thankfully the bathroom isn't large and Lowe's was nearby as it required several trips for tile to be cut. John's brother-in-law has a tile saw that he offered to loan us but between the thought of hauling it up and down two flights of stairs as well as the mess it would make in the common area, we decided Lowe's was the way to go.
While John was busy in the bathroom, Melissa has a bistro set that really needed a paint job. I offered to paint it if she bought the paint. Not one to hesitate at getting a job done, soon Melissa had me priming and painting the set. It looks pretty good sitting out on her balcony.
We are happy that we were able to assist Melissa in making this condo her home. What this experience has also taught us is that we really don't miss owning a house and all the maintenance that goes with it and we are getting older lol. Now that Melissa is settled in, we can now turn our attention to heading back out on the road that we will do next Sunday.
