The House Remodel: Paint and Tile

August 13, 2026

Days in --
To move-in --
End of August 2026

274 days in. Painting is done. We finished yesterday and it feels good. All the walls are fixed to the best of our ability.

Our drywall guy kind of screwed us. Something was wrong with his mix, and it left a bunch of holes in the ceiling that really showed up once we painted. We got most of them. It is not perfect, but it is better than it was, which is awesome. Emma has been helping a lot with that.

Tile

Fireplace, bathroom, and kitchen tile are done too. We had an awesome tile guy who knocked it out quick.

Kitchen is nickel square large format. Bathroom is a lighter large format. Green around the tub, and green on the fireplace, which is awesome.

Time

Since I switched jobs I have had a lot more time to work on the house, which is awesome. We are getting closer every day.

Thank you to Emit, my paps, Hayden, Emma, and my mom. They have all been champions helping me along the way.

Can't wait to move in soon. It should actually be somewhat soon now, which is awesome.

The weeds are insane. Those things turn into trees overnight. It has been fun keeping them in check. Not really.
