As always, start by looking at pictures of the condo before renovations started if this is your first visit to my blog.
Yesterday I stopped by to talk to Josh, the contractor doing the work on the condo. We decided to replace some of the cabinet walls that had sustained some water damage. When they moved the refrigerator, we discovered the floor had suffered from water damage as well. So, that is being ripped out and new materials will be put into place before the kitchen tile is installed. When this work is finished, they'll be able to move onto the fun stuff--installing the granite countertops, stone backsplash, and new flooring. It was a bit of a setback, but not a huge problem. The kitchen will be in better shape than ever before.
On the bright side, Benny and Alice have finished removing the popcorn texture from the ceilings. They just finished painting them this week. They've also removed the mirrors from above the fireplace and retextured the space in the same style as the walls and ceilings. It looks awesome. Both of these renovations went a long way towards getting the 80s out of the condo. :) I'm so glad I decided to do this.
I'll be stopping by again next week, as soon as some more significant progress has been made on the floor and in the kitchen. Look for new pictures then! And....I still don't have a roommate. Pass the word along to anyone you know moving to the great city of Austin. Newly renovated, wonderful neighborhood, furnished; you can't do much better!
