We have our first tenant! She moved in to apt 9A. Here is what we have done and still have yet to do.


-We ripped up the old kitchen flooring and replaced it with floating laminate tiles. We were up past midnight Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday in order to have it ready for Saturday. We removed two layers of sub flooring and 4 layers of vinyl/tile/other flooring. This brought us to the original hardwood and sub floor. One of the reasons i wanted to rip it all out was to fix a weak spot by the bathroom. We discovered that a section of the hardwood was pretty well rotted out. So i cut it out and replaced it with new plywood. The floor is still not perfectly level, but it is only a gradual slope. Its going to stay that way because i have neither the time, knowledge, nor necessity to fix it.

- I bought some new sink cabinets from a construction company that had leftovers. Now i'm just waiting for Jerica to paint them so we can install them.
-Cleaning and more cleaning. My stepfather helped clean the unit after the last tenants moved out. Then we had to clean it a few more times because tearing up old flooring is quite dirty.
- Eventually we will replace the flooring in the bathroom, paint the kitchen, and replace the medicine cabinet. For now, this will do.
