Laundry Room Project
Time to kick off 2010 with a home improvement project, updating our laundry room. We have decided to replace our wire shelving with some cabinets and while we are at it repainting the room.
This Friday I took a vacation day to start on the project. After Brandon left for school and Aiden was at day care I immediately jumped into action as “Handy Man”. I moved the dryer and washer away from the wall, disconnected the gas line and saw the first obstacle, 6 years worth of dust and grime. Vacuum in hand, I spent the next ten minutes sucking up the dirt and grime, emptying the container and finding where a few of those lost socks ended up.
After detour number one the next step was removing the existing wire shelving. With the right tools the crappy shelving was gone in minutes, just gaping holes left in the wake. After patching the holes with spackle it was time for the first break of the day to let it cure.
Sanding was performed after an extended break (how did the kids get home already?) and it was edging time. Friday night and the priming coat was done.
Saturday was two quick coats of paint, not much to mention here other than we had a few helpers, thanks Brandon and Aiden.
After the paint was dry I got to hang our cabinets and install the doors and finally reuse the wire shelving above the sink to allow us to drip dry some laundry.
Successful project one done!
Rick out.
