He’s making quite a bit of progress on his new office! It’s been a long hard journey, but it’s beginning to look quite impressive! Just for reference, here’s what it looked like when we began this whole transformation process.
For the tongue & groove wall, he had 75 boards delivered to the house, each one 15 feet in length. He spent several very long nights prepping them for the contractor: first he had to sand them all smooth, then apply a conditioner/pre-stain on them all, then put on the actual stain, and then a poly-urethane coating. Once all that dried enough, he sanded them all again and applied the second layer of the poly-urethane coating.
Once the boards were ready, the contractor installed them in just two days, spending the third day working on the flooring and the trim. I must be honest here and admit that I was not liking the color choices that my partner picked out – but seeing it all in person, I fully admit that it looks fantastic! He did a great job.
Having added ¾” to the wall means that, of course, all the outlets need to be extended out to be flush with the new walls, so he has a week or so of work to do all of that. He also bought really nice wooden cover plates to match the tongue & groove – and they all need to be prepped before they can be installed. He is working on that at the same time that he works on the electrical stuff.
Wow. That was a lot of work. But it looks great. He needs a big throw rug to warm up the room and quiet the echo in there.
