Townhouse Overhaul: Project List

So here is the overview of all the projects that my husband and I conquered at the rental property from Saturday at 4PM until Thursday night around nine.  Keep in mind we were still both working our normal hours and did not get much sleep during this process.  But if this experience taught us anything, it's that we can get things done in limited time but at the precious cost of sleep.   I would not recommend trying this at your house or rental property.  It will leave you exhausted and there will not be enough Red Bull or Spike energy drinks to combat this.  I am pretty proud of the work we did and my parents were in town recently and were happy with the results.  The only project that we did not have the energy to complete was second coat of white semi-gloss in the bathrooms upstairs.  But all in all the house looks so much better than before, I wouldn't believe it ever looked as bad as two weeks ago if I didn't have the pictures to prove it. 

Painting:
Paint Kitchen - White
Paint Downstairs Middle and Front Rooms - White
Paint Downstairs Powder Room - Light Grey
Paint Kitchen Cabinets - Light Grey
Paint Upstairs Bathroom Vanities - Dark Grey
Paint Upstairs Bedrooms and Hallway
Paint Upstairs Bathrooms - White

Other Projects:
Refinish Bathroom Fixtures
Replace Outlet Covers
Tile Upstairs Bathroom Vanities Inside
Fix Holes in Walls
Caulking Bathrooms and Kitchen

The only posts missing from the projects above were the patching the holes and caulking.  They seems like straightforward tasks but as we move on to other projects in the house I'll try to include them.  We have discussed ripping up the linoleum floor and replacing with a slate tile, as well as refinishing the bathroom floor and possibly trying to install hardwood downstairs to avoid having to replace the carpet so often.  If any of these projects pan out, I'll be sure to blog about it!

Stay tuned for more projects!
