Here are some pics to show you what we're dealing with...
These pictures DO NOT show the reality of the situation. (Must be my amazing camera just makes everything look better....) There were cobwebs everywhere, dead bugs, alive spiders, dust, dust and mor dust, and lots of boxes and cardboard scraps. So we threw out the trash, recycled the recycleables, moved the landscaping materials to the garage and cleared out the space. And then Mr. Cob swept. Here's what we have after day 1:
And here is a closeup of the floor....
It's just gross. So Mr. Cob is researching what, if anything, we can do to level out the floor (aside from a new layer of concrete) and deciding whether or not he needs to try to rip up the old flooring before we lay down the new floor. I think we've decided on vinyl tiles that are backed with self adhesive - not the most high-end materials, but it should work perfectly for our needs. Then Mr. Cob needs to do some spot repair to certain areas of the walls and windows (two windows need to be sealed). And I need to buy window blinds or shades, but I haven't decided what route to go yet. I've also decided we should paint the walls - it certainly can't hurt. Any thoughts on color???
Way to go---no grass is growing under your feet!
ReplyDeleteSo impressed with your initiative! I think some bamboo Roman-style shades would be great on those windows. Affordable and they'll look crisp/clean and modern. Happy house cleaning/organizing/projecting!!
