Laundry - Under repair

Our hardest project to date has been the utility/laundry room. There were many cracks in the wall, 12 or so coats of paint, ugly power cables and an uneven floor. Many of the cracks on the inside of the room had corresponding cracks on the outside so you could actually see outside through them. These photos document the repair process from beginning to end. Well semi-end since I don’t think we’ll ever be totally happy with it.

  • As I stared to add primer on the walls one thing I realized is I never touched the pipes!!  I never cleaned them, removed paint from them or even sand them down to make them smooth!!  I might try sanding them smoot after I'm done or just give up on them and put pipe insullation on them.

  • Second coat of redgard applied.  You can really see how red it gets when dry.  

I can't wait to do something to hide all these wires.

  • Vinyl tile on the 1st half.  This is all I could do until we get back from Texas, and yes I did get a lot of redgard one the wall but that will all be covered one we put in the wall base.

Hey what do you think of a light blue wall base?  That's if its available.
