Now that mother has moved into the Pioneer Home, we have begun the process of turning the old Bunk Room into Bryan’s Office!
The first step was to hire a contractor to come out and give us an estimate on how much this is going to cost us. It came in about what we expected, so we went ahead and scheduled him for the first week of May.
The second step was to take down the bunk beds, a monumental task in itself. My brother said that he would take the beds for his youngest girl, Kaylee, so they are emptying out her room in order to install them in there – meanwhile they are in pieces in our garage waiting us to deliver them (and help install them, of course). I think she will love them!
Then he ripped out the flooring and prepared the room for the contractor to install new wall covering and new flooring. He’s chosen a tongue & groove wall and a laminate floor – not what I would have chosen, but it’s his room so he can do whatever he wants in there! He’s very excited about it.
The tongue & groove planking arrived the other day, so he is in the garage now sanding it all down so that we can condition and stain it prior to installation. It’s an incredibly messy job = our garage is completely coated in a thick layer of sawdust now. Everything in there will have to be cleaned somehow.
He has a bit of a time crunch to get everything done, too, because he’s actually leaving for another trip in a week. He won’t get back until a day or two before the contractor arrives to do his work!
