Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Friday, March 2, 2012. Catch up post - FLOORS! With Rory only a few weeks away from arrival, we were in high-gear trying to get some of the big items done. #1 item was the flooring and it was going to have to be a quick go because a house without a floor just isn't a home! 31 cases of flooring stacked on our hearth.let's go.

Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation: Buttoned-up part 2 - Unbuttoned
http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2013/02/buttoned-up-part-2-unbuttoned.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Sunday, February 24, 2013. Buttoned-up part 2 - Unbuttoned. Of course the road to hell is paved with good intentions - and we found that the reason the ceiling was cracking was because of a couple of weak, and one completely cracked, joist - incidentally the joist that the cabinets would have been secured to.

Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation: June 2010
http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Monday, June 28, 2010. It's official: We are an episode of Holmes on Homes (only without Holmes). If you read our last post, you'll remember the our master bedroom/hallway wall repairs is on hold due to our "wait and see" experiment in the tub, which seems to be holding up well with no leaks in sight! Given our lack of progress in the master, Ben and I moved inside of the bathroom and decided to start stripping the wallpaper. Why might you ask? Here are a few reasons:.

Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation: February 2012
http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Thursday, February 9, 2012. Before and After Photos. I was so excited to see how far we have come, as we tend to get fixated on the next project. Let's start with the best before and after pictures - the bathroom. In the before shots, please note the following:. Floor to ceiling wall paper (hiding layers of paint. That could not be painted over - see prev. post). A vanity that lacks both style and functionality. A storage cabinet that dominates the space. Greg Burnett's...

http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-vaulted-ceiling-that-almost-was.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Saturday, March 2, 2013. The vaulted ceiling that almost was. Our lead carpenter, Keith, got to thinking about vaulting it over the weekend, talked to Tiff on Monday and Daniel from Yoder Dame called to let me know that we could do it, for real, if we wanted to; but had to have the decision made that next morning in order to avoid a work stoppage. I said that I'd draw something up in Sketchup - so that we could all get on the same page and then say yay or nay. MasterBra...

Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation: Fantastic Floors!
http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2013/03/fantastic-floors.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Friday, March 8, 2013. We had the tile laid this week as well. We went with the 12x24s in a side-by-side pattern after much discussion between the contractors, Tiff and myself (this was Tiff's vision - and it was better than mine which was staggered). I'm very happy with how it is turning out. We specified minimal grout lines (1/16") and it is going to turn out fantastically. The guys from Yoder Dame putting down the first tiles.

Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation: April 2013
http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Monday, April 15, 2013. The last weeks have been CRAZY PRODUCTIVE! So the kitchen - yeah, we haven't updated you all on that for a while. Rory contemplating the possibilities - and thinking that it might be fun to. Play with that 220 line sticking out of the floor. We've come a long way in the last few weeks. Cabinets were finally installed, no trim, no appliances (except for the range). We did the granite - Arctic Pearl on the back and under-window area. Dishwasher ver...

http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2013/03/rain-rain-go-away.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Saturday, March 2, 2013. Rain, rain - go away. So it was raining this week.a lot. Keith came in on Tuesday and explained to us that he knew where the water he had found in our flooring had come from.our LEAKY drain-waste-vent (DWV) stack. Where the DWV stack pops out of the roof, it's flashed. In our case, the flashing was probably the same boot that had been up there for YEARS. This begged the question - are any of the other boots leaking? Matted and wet insulation.

Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation: September 2010
http://bedfordreno.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Ben and Tiff's Bedford Renovation. Saturday, September 25, 2010. The master is almost finished. Much in the theme of many of our completed rooms we created custom plinth blocks to accommodate the low outlets (as a reminder, the outlet height cannot be fixed easily because they are sunk into the concrete block walls) while doing the new baseboard trim. We'll be moving in soon. Keep tuned in for more updates! The dads and the nephews. Overall, the installation of the Durock went well! To avoid the unpleasa...
