A trip to Home Depot to buy the final door (between mudroom and kitchen):
We continued with cleanup of rooms. I removed all the lathe boards from the pantry as Dave said it would be a good tool room. None of these have been de-nailed, planed, or urethaned yet.
We continued with the bedroom 3 window, adding furring strips to bring the frame out to the right level. It still isn’t right, and Dave will likely have to mud it a lot.
The trim board is actually two 1x4s as there is a big-a** gap in the floor. This is not slated for renovation this time around. The trim in this room will remain white (except for around the window).
With all the shifting and relevelling of the house and all its add-ons, there was a crack in the drywall around the door, and the door didn’t close. I planed off the top rather than digging deep into more restructuring. (Not slated for renovation!)
Then again, it must have been sticking for a long time. The door knob was broken. I was temporarily trapped in the room.
As well, while trapped in there, I decided to use spray foam insulation in the ceiling / wall gaps rather than drywall as Dave suggested; a) it would take 2 layers of drywall and lots of mud, 2) I was stuck in the room without drywall, and 3) the spray foam was right beside me. However, the spray foam gun / canister exploded. I chucked it outside but not before it dribbled foam all over my floor.
After more cleanup and organizing, Floyd and I continued with the trim boards. (I wonder what others think of this reuse of 120-year-old material.)
We also reseated the bathroom door. It was springy, resisting being closed. The frame had been put in with too thick of shims, so we pulled them out and refastened it to the 2×6 studs.
Dave, in the mean time, mudded, sanded, and primed bedroom 3. The ceiling is still had Beaverboard on it (and still does – not slated for renos).
Lastly, the hole in the living room floor was levelled using levelling compound. I’ll patch the linoleum tomorrow.
