Upgrade

We finished a house last week. I had scraped the house and primed the bare wood. First I was using a "Rose" primer till I ran out

 

Then I used an oil primer that had an interesting yellow color. matthew said it looked like the house had measels and was nauseous. 

Finished painting it. Looks better. The doors are painted "fire weed"

Even the kitchen turned out ok.

painted all the walls and was able to save all the oak flooring.

It turned out to be a pretty nice house

There was some doubt as to how long it would take to finish the house because it was a wreck when we purchased it.

The house was filthy and the owner appears to have been unable to throw anything away. He had sealed the house up too tightly so there was a moisture problem.

We didn't even have to discuss if we were redoing the tub and shower

New Tile and shower valve. Only way to go!

The man who lived in this house had tried to save by sealing up the house. I don't know what his issues were but he ended up livng in a house with a moisture problem, no hot water, piles of useless stuff and filth.

He tried to solve problems his way and it didn't work. Often we all try to fix our own lives and we can't. It is only when we turn everything over to God that God fixes our lives. That is easy to say but hard to do.
