Jayden's Room


After moving in on September 6th, Jayden got his new bedding and curtains up, and we even got him new fish for his fish tank!  So far he really likes his new room!

On Memorial Day weekend 2008, we cleaned up the 2nd floor, and brought in the area rug for Jayden's room.  See how well it goes with his box of toys?  Note the uncluttered floor; you wont see this often. <grin>





On February 24th, 2008, we ran power into the breaker panel to test some circuits, and lo and behold we had a working ceiling fan in Jayden's room!  It was officially the first light in the house to be left on as well. See the work log for details. <grin>




Jayden's room was the first one to be completed in the whole house!  Here we are just missing
the smoke detector, the heater, a telephone & TV plug, and the door Kassandra is working
on in the upper left picture.


Here Kass is sanding down Jayden's door so she can paint the outside of it before she re-stains the inside of his door.  She really enjoys stripping.  Paint that is!


Over the weekend of August 25th, 2007, we finished up Jayden's room.  Here Rick is hooking up the new ceiling fan we picked up for his room.
 
Dont paint yourself into a corner!


Above you can see Kass putting the first coat of gray on the floor after the walls had been done, and the primer had been put down on the floor.  Left the room is done except for the molding & outlets!

a very rare
                disease..caused by too much mud!
Kass finished applying the texture on this room today.  Looks like she was really into her work!
 



Here you can finally see the repaired flooring, insulation & vapor barrier, and with just three of the 4 by 12 sheets, the ceiling is done!
We sadly did have a mishap and broke the lower window with a corner of the sheet rock. Luckily it's easy to fix!  Below Kass took a picture of Rick working on the ceiling. (See guys; I *do* work on the house too!)

A whole lot of work has been accomplished in this room, but we don't seem to have many pictures of it!  The flooring was completed, as well as the missing piece of siding along the floor.  The windows have been restored, and as seen in the picture to the right we have wired it for electricity and telephone and DSL as well.  We've put in the insulation on the exterior walls and just need to do a vapor barrier and we can begin sheet rocking it!

Modernized

Almost there

Jayden's was the first room to be completely "gutted".  Kass spent all day working on the ceiling in this room, only to get a black eye in the process! A rubber mallet fell out of the attic and hit her on the eyebrow, giving her a grape size "egg" and a lovely "purple eye shadow" look for a week!

Now we just need to get the floor repaired and this room is ready to put back together!

So much better!
Looking good He loves it!
With the front wall put back in place, everything lines up so much more nicely and evenly now!
Here is the new wall Rick, Fred & Kass put in this weekend.  You can just see the header in the bathroom too.
Jayden couldn't resist lending a hammer and knocking out some of the lathe & plaster was just too much fun for him!

Much better now
Here is Jayden's room in late October 2004, cleaned out and ready to remove the plaster to re-wire & insulate the walls.
I'm fixing a hole...
Still need to repair the ceiling, wall & floor damage in the corner, but that will come soon enough. :)
 
I'm looking
                through you...
Looking out into the hallway, clawfoot tub blocking the doorway.  This will end up being Jayden's room once we move in.

These are the original pictures of the room when we first surveyed the house.
Belongings left behind.  The kids have declined to re-use the beds for some reason. :)
