Lanter Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Haven't been as active one here of late mostly due to selling and buying a new house. The house needs some serious updating and was previously build/owned by an amish family. They had electric ran throughout the home before placing it on market but that was really all the updating they did. I had HVAC installed and my wife and I are currently in the process of rearranging the kitchen, painting the cabinets, building an island, adding lights, master bathroom and master closet, and flooring throughout. Once we get that finished and can move into the main floor we will redo the upstairs, mostly cosmetics, and run electric out to the shop. The property is a little over 5.5 acres and contains a couple out buildings with one being an 80x40 metal building with a one bedroom apartment off to the side. It houses an almost full basketball court which unfortunately has a case of the Indiana Hoosier which will be covered up with some black and gold (Boiler Up!). House House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Barn and garage. Back pasture will be turned into a shooting range as we have no plans to own horses so the barn will be perfect for shooting/ a machine shop. House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Shop and apartment House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Shop House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Project will take ages so all the automotive stuff is being put on the back burner. Jeep needs some universal joints, mustang is getting a new wideband and catch can, datsun gets a dry place to park lol. Other than that it's all going into the house for now. But the property is my wife and I's dream setup with room for the kids to play, storage for toys, and plenty of room.

The outbuildings are certainly more than I ever thought I would get and a lot more than I would have built if they weren't there.

IS2760q1m8de351000000000 by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Project 1: Kitchen demo/re-configure Idea here was to move the fridge surround that was converted into a pantry over to the fridge location and also shorten the countertop to accommodate a table and chairs. Countertop will be added back when we build the island that will house the stove. Pulling cabinet doors for paint and stain also new hardware. House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Current kitchen status, floors were all ripped out and we are now in the process of re-hanging the cabinet doors after paint and stain. Also measuring for the island build, the butcher block countertop for the island is arriving Friday and is 9' by 3'. Also adding recessed lighting to brighten the space up. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Project 2: Master bathroom First step here was to frame in the doorway to the office to close off the space House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Next we busted through the office closet into the master bedroom. Needed to build two headers to create the doorway and hallway as the walls were both load bearing. House by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr I also got the closet framed out and wiring ran to relocate lights and switches but no photos of that yet. Will be adding recessed lighting in the bathroom and laying tile down this week. The other big tasks were ripping out all the linoleum flooring and getting the sub-floor ready for underlayment and laminate. This has been slowed down as we select interior paint, figured painting first so we don't have to worry about getting paint on the new floors would be the way to go but this means fixing the drywall that was damaged by ripping out all the wood paneling. The main living space will get a grey paint with white trim and white wainscoting running throughout. Hopefully we can get that completed in the next couple weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the entire house will be right along that timeline of 2-3 years. Hopefully the main floor will be done soon though so we can move in. Counter tops will be the one thing untouched in this kitchen, and while we hate them they are going to have to stay while we save up for granite lol. Completely agree on the 70s/80s garbage that's still out there. We looked at a couple of houses that as soon as we entered the kitchen all imagination was abruptly kicked out and replaced by dollar signs that would be needed to gut and redo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanter Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Main space, kitchen, and master bedroom have received new laminate flooring, would have went hardwood but having two young kids and a dog we opted for the slightly tougher surface on the laminate flooring. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Kitchen is getting close to being finished up. We added LED recessed lighting to brighten the place up, will be replacing the single light that was there with some sort of drop lighting. Before: Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr After: Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr This weekend we were also able to start and almost finish the kitchen island. We purchased a 3' by 8' birch butcher block counter top that arrived so we were able to start framing up the cabinets. The island will contain the stove, set of cabinets, book shelving for cook books, trash can, and enough room for the two stools so the kids can eat breakfast etc on the island. Work started by framing up two 4x4 posts as the legs of the island and giving it some dimension with a cross pattern similar to all the barn doors, house doors. Also we needed to raise the height of the cabinets to give the countertop the proper height to match the other counters. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Next we continued framing out the pocket where the sitting area will be as well as the book shelves. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Here is the framing for the trash can area as well as the pocket where the oven will slide in. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Landed the countertop on the framing. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Last steps we got to this weekend was putting up some 1/4" backer board to enclose the framing. All of the island will be painted white to match the upper cabinets. All that needs done now besides paint is running electrical, gas lines, making shelves, waste can swivel out cabinet and cutting the top for the stove to slide in.

For second, it is wet because it is full of chemicals to keep it from rotting - not the least of which are arsenic and formaldehyde. You don't want those chemicals off-gassing in the house.

Well shit, I've read several articles claiming treated timber is fine for inside use save for cutting boards and counter tops (makes sense). I let the boards sit for some time (1.5 weeks or so) inside to dry out more. I'll research more and see if the warp any, worst case I wasted 30 bucks and a days worth of time.

Lanter Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Lot's have been going on, busy with the house and other projects as well as my son started T ball so time spent on the house has slowed dramatically. But we are still pushing on, just really need to finish trimming the rooms, master bathroom, and renovate the downstairs bath. But all in all it's coming along. First up is the kitchen, so I left off with having to tear the entire island back apart to replace the legs that I had originally built with treated wood. So now that's remedied and the entire kitchen is back together and painted (for the most part). Still needs some odds and ends and trim around the cabinets. But it's close to being complete. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Next big area is the living room, which got a new ceiling (along with the kitchen), paint, trim. Then we decided the grey was a bit dark for the room so we added wainscoting throughout. That turned into a big chore. Started by painting around 3' of the lower portion of the walls white. Then added horizontal and vertical trim using 4"x1" primed mdf. Then we filled the nail holes and added a single layer of white to the entire wainscoting. Started the room by filling in a doorway to block off the master bathroom as well as filling in all the nail holes from the previous owners.House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Then came the wall paint (happens to be the master bedroom but its the same paint and process as the living room)House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Wainscoting added to the living roomHouse Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Here you can see the room nearly completed, wainscoting with a final coat of white. The ceilings have been sheet rocked, tapped and mudded, and a final texture coating added. Also switched out the single light for a ceiling fan. Lastly we moved our stuff in after what felt like forever lol. Still need to hide the wiring for the tv in the wall since we elected to wall mount it as well as finish some trim work and paint touchups.Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Here is a reference picture for how the room started out.House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Next room we tackled was the master bedroom. This room needed flooring, paint, trim and a new doorway to the newly added master bathroom (still needing to be finished). Started this room by tearing through the wall and adding a header for the doorway to the master bathroom.Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Then we added in the flooring and paint (after a mountain of drywall work)House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr At this point I decided that what use to be the master closet would work perfect as a spot for my newly aquired gun safe, since we are adding in a large walk in closed the old one would have just been vacant. This required opening up the doorway a little and adding in some 2x4's to build up a pad for the safe to bolt down to. I also went ahead and ran lighting from the old light switch into the safe. 40 gun cannon safe.House Reno by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr got the safe in the house and into the closet. Then closed up the top and bottom with framing and drywall.Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on FlickrUntitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Then we painted the room and put in most the trim, still needing to add trim to the one wall with the gun safe. Also at this point I finished the drywall on the doorway to the bathroom and added a barndoor. Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Untitled by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr That basically brings this thread up to date. Still working a lot on the master bathroom and will update that portion when it's finished. Right now I have all the walls framed and drywall added. Need to mudd and tape them all then paint. Also laydown cement board, shower base, tile. Then the double vanity and all the plumbing can be put in. Hoping to get that finished by mid July but we will see. House projects really take a lot of time to do lol. Oh another update, found and purchased another z car. This ones a 1972 240z, grey primer'd car is a 74 260z. Purchased it originally as a parts car but it's so complete and straight, super rusty, but straight that I think I am going to go ahead and keep it. Planning on sticking with a carb'd straight six in the 260z and turning the white car more into a daily/driver with a LS swap and a six speed. So here's to a 10 year project lol. 34258980_10155801700560749_4372509069353680896_n by Kevin Lanter, on Flickr Edited June 4, 2018 by Lanter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I couldn't have done that the safe would have ended up just sitting in the basement as I don't much care, nor have room, for a safe to just sit out by itself. Ha having a basketball court in the garage has thrown me for a loop, torn between building work benches and an eventual lift but loosing some of the court or leaving it all open.

Lanter Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Year flew by and the accomplishments on the house really went slow lol. A million reasons for the delays but there’s still some stuff I was able to get closer to completion. I’ve been on and off working on the master bathroom/closet and finally have stuff to show, though there’s a ton left to work on. Here is how the office turned master bathroom started (after the HVAC was installed): Looking at the north wall, where the shower will be going, basically standing where the closet will go and looking out into the bathroom. Looking into where the closet will be, after boxing in the HVAC and closing in the doorway and stair case opening. This photo is looking at the office closet that will be removed and the wall opened up into the master bedroom. Part of the closet turns into the hallway with the other half becoming a linen closet. I’ll start by showing the demolition of the old office closet and the construction of the new door ways for the master bathroom/bedroom door. Here the old closet door was removed and headers installed to open the space up as much as possible as well as provide a doorway into the bedroom. Here is a look from the bedroom into the new doorway. From that point I turned my attention to framing out the closet section of the bathroom, mainly consisting of three parts. First was framing in the old doorway and stairs and around the HVAC ducting. Next section was framing out the outer walls of the closet. Somewhat panoramic few of the closet walls Last bit of framing was closing in the staircase and building pockets for dressers so that I could utilize the space under the staircase for storage. After all the framing came drywall, laminate flooring (same as in the rest of the main floor) and the start of painting. I haven’t completely finished the drywall as I need to run some electrical for upstairs which means installing a conduit before closing the wall in. Now that the closet is to the point where we can move clothing into it we switched gears to the bathroom. We at this point had torn out all the old flooring and installed cement board and 12x24” concrete grey tile, and although all the pictures don’t show it we went with a dark charcoal grout. With all the drywall mud and sanding the grout lines are white and in need of a good cleaning. For some reason I have no good pictures of the tile and the rest of the bathroom, though the vanity and toilet are not installed they are sitting in place. Anyway, the next steps were starting the shower layout and install, and in the meantime my wife started with prepping the walls and painting. The blue we picked out was a touch dark so we decided to do a shiplap about a third up the wall to help brighten the walls. The shiplap will carry throughout the bathroom, while the closet received a grey paint and just basic trim. For the shower we went with the kerdi system, while it’s easy to work with and nice quality stuff it is expensive and very time consuming. I first laid out the shower dimensions and tore out all the drywall. Then ran my plumbing for the shower mixing valve, shower head, and body washer. Next, started hanging the kerdi board on the walls. And installing the shower niche. After the walls were up I cut down the shower pan and installed it, I also included a shower bench in the corner. I purchased a larger shower pan than I needed so I was able to use the extra that was cut off to build the shower curbs. After that came the waterproofing the shower pan and walls, which requires laying down the floor membrane and applying patches over all the screws and seams with thinset mortar. Some of the trim I needed took a long time to ship in so the next part of the shower I worked on was laying the penny time on the floor and installing the drain. Cutting the drain out and thinsetting the penny time down. This basically brings this up to date. My next tasks are to start putting tile on the walls and curb, along with the kerdi rondec trim to finish out the edges. Then I’ll need to connect the waste line and purchase and install the shower glass. The glass will take some time to get so my plan is to work on installing the toilet and vanity while I am waiting. Then finish the paint and trim work and finally have a completed bathroom project….. so I can tear out the old bathroom that we are currently using and redo it lol. Oh I also picked up another project car to stuff in the shop, 1988 notchback that’s currently getting a tube front welded on. Anyway, I’m really pushing to get the bathroom finished out this month so that I can start work on converting the original first floor full bath into a half bath with storage. Then the downstairs will be completed and we can move on to renovating the 2nd floor.
