I think you will regret your decision we remodelled one of our townhouses by ourselves it took over a year. We were also living in the mess blocking off rooms dust still gets everywhere. It's also worse when you have a landlord telling you how fast you need to work. Shaking my head but good luck to you.

One more thing please get something going in writing from this guy about what you guys agreed on. If you don't he can say your not working up to his standards and kick you out. Also you may fix it and he still kick you out or raise the rent on you sooo gt it in writing get protect your self can't stress that enough as I am a landlord a home flipper and also once upon. A time took on a deal that sounded like fun and ended up with the landlord trying to screw me out of my work.

If I can eat, shit and shower in the house then I'll be happy. That's all I really need.

This room will be our bedroom. Tearing up the floor, then the subfloor. The base is gravel, so I need to lay down a vapour barrier and then 2x4's and then plywood sub floor. That will be happening Saturday/Sunday.

The used kitchen cabinets that the landlord bought. They're nothing fancy. The countertop doesn't work with the layout of the kitchen, so we're positioning the cupboards and will do a new countertop to match the new layout of the kitchen. There are way more cupboards than we need, so we're thinking we have enough to build an island.

New plywood subfloor. Will be getting screwed down today.

I should also add that with the wall we gutted in the bathroom we put in a vapour barrier, new insulation and another vapour barrier.

Lots and lots of work being done and a lot of learning.

My body is so friggin sore, too haha

Slowly, but surely. We're getting there! Can't wait to see what the place looks like after Sunday. I think we'll be putting in a solid 10 hours on Sunday and will have the help of a few friends.

Nice work. Just to let you know double vapour barrier is not a good idea. It can trap moisture inside the insulation leading to mold growth.

My friend Curtis showing off the progress he's made on our kitchen, haha.

We've been working like mad to get this house livable and we're pretty much there! We have a bathroom and a kitchen, so I'm happy as can be lol.

Today we are actually doing some unpacking!

Jason is finishing the chicken run

Landlord and roommate are finishing the kitchen plumbing

I am doing the 2nd and 3rd cuts on the lawn. The grass was really overgrown and I only have a push mower right now, so I have to do multiple cuts

And Thalia is happily laying in the grass eating a deer leg

... Pics to come!
