This past week was mainly demolition work.
Here's what happened:
- A/C unit is up and running. Thankfully it works!
- They removed all the interior walls. From the pictures you can tell the apartment is even more open than it was. And there is a ton of debris.
- They prepared the floor for tile or wood flooring.
- They have made "friends" with the maintenance guy for the apartment complex. This is great when you have a multiple unit dwellings.
Here's what we found out:
- The HVAC can be run in the crawl space. This means we can put vents in the floor.
- The chase can be moved, but to a location different than what we were thinking.
- We need some kind of window coverings. The windows are old and large. The amount of heat loss/gain from the windows can be mitigated with blinds or drapery. We will be getting a quote for them soon.
- Since we are concerned with heat loss/gain, Chuck suggested to insulate the floor.
Here's what we purchased this past week:
- Floor tile
- Returned one vanity, and replaced with a smaller one that fit the room.
- Toilet for the up stairs.
- The back splash for the kitchen.
- Chose the granite. Will post more later, but here is a picture with the granite, back splash, and cabinet color (not style).
