Prairie Village Renovation - Bubb Cribb Team- High Drive Project - Week #2

Progress continues on our renovation in Prairie Village, take a look at what one solid week of progress has brought forth.  We are posting a few days behind, we will try to catch up.  This is the 2nd week, Days 6-10 or so.

#1 - Creating Some Trash - The Bagster Is getting some use, so we ordered a 2nd!

#2 - Shutters and Bats:  We had to take down the shutters for a new BLACK paint job, what do we find behind shutter number one?  More hornets, bees, no - not this time we find another winged creature, a BAT has made it's home at the house.

Batman was just a cute little guy until we started showing him away... three grown men on a ladder with bags, moving quicker than lightning; how fun!  Needless to say he now has a new home, just not sure where?

#3 - Staging Area In The Garage - The garage has been turned into the construction staging zone for construction efforts!

#4 - Move That Door - In a stroke of simple genius Sue Bubb noted the awkward entrance from the garage to head upstairs or down, it was a bit of a hazard and why it was built like that I don't quite understand.  What I do know is that the new door is in and is a major improvement.  Next week the old door disappears!

#5 - The White Room - Paint Crew getting at the work downstairs, the dark, rough wood has fallen away for a nice white palate.  Paint on the carpet, sure - why not it's going in the trash soon anyway.  Painting before the new carpet and hardwood floors was recommended.

#6 - Kitchen in Progress - Goodbye Cabinets and Appliances - Deconstruction has begun in the kitchen with several appliances out of the way and counter-tops gone. One step at a time in the kitchen, the oven location has now taken over a catch all location until it also gets a makeover.

#7 - Kitchen in Progress - Say goodbye Mr. Oven, Mr. Microwave With No Handle & Ms. Washing Machine.  Mr. Fridge; we will welcome you back soon with new "matched friends" that have also been picked out this week at Lowe's, Home Depot & Nebraska Furniture Mart!

#8 - It Is Hard To Remove Bad Kitchen Floors - We dug in on ripping up the kitchen floors and had to go a layer to find what was beneath.  A glued together mess was the reality, don't worry - new hardwoods are coming soon!

#9 - Ready for Paint - Staged and ready for paint, the crew has been working very hard to tape and seal each window.  It's a painstaking process, we just wonder do you get the job as "Tape Guy" if you show up late that day, pick the longest straw, or have the worst hangover!  :)

#10 - Bathrooms Ready For The Makeover - Master bath deconstructed - no more vanity, new is yet to come!

#11 - Master Bedroom Purple - Just one more great shot of that PURPLE bedroom, doesn't it look GLORIOUS!

#12 - Can You Guess What This Is?  Full Bath number two is ready for a makeover as well... don't forget - leave a toilet for your workers, can't have the productive team heading up to Quick Trip every hour just for a bio break!

The fun continues next week and we even get our hands dirty doing some work of our own!  One week down and lots of progress.  See you next week as we jump into crown molding, kitchen cabinets, bead-board entry way & much more!  It was nice to see Home Depot here in Kansas City send a hand written note to Megan this week; we are dropping a few bills there.  Megan has chosen the- 9600 Metcalf Home Depot as her favorite!  :)

Any feedback or questions, give us a shout, would love to hear from you!

Cheers!
