The saga of the back room

So during the entire construction process, we couldn't do anything to the back room, because the contractors kept all their stuff in there. It was full of table saws and wood and tools and nails that they apparently threw all around the room. Oh, and a bunch of shattered glass from when they thought it was a good idea to take out the old window and just toss it on the ground. Oh how I loved the contractors....

Anyways. While the contractors were here, the two back windows were taken out and a sliding door was put in (there was no exit to the backyard before.) The water heater room got new floor and a proper door, drywall, electrical work, and a new water heater, and the laundry room got new floor and electrical and plumbing and drywall. The carpet remained disgusting and dirty and stinky, and I spray painted numerous things directly on it....just to ensure that it would get replaced :)

Here are some befores-





Once the contractors were gone, we yanked up all the carpet and found even more grossness underneath!





Now we are seeing the beginning of the end. New floor has been ordered and should get put in either next week or the week after, and today we primed all the wood paneling (and new drywall.) Tomorrow its getting painted Behr "cream puff." The saga continues...
