Some neighbors took pictures of the house for us this weekend. The second-floor rooms (master bedroom and bath) have been framed. The second floor on the left side of the house will be open to the living room on the main floor.
I also picked out an antique front door for the house last week and got to see our first refinished claw-foot tub. Pictures are below.
We're buying this Craftsman-style front door from Southern Accents, an architectural salvage
store in Cullman, Ala. At $950 it comes in just
under our $1,000 budget.
The door has a dental shelf on one side.
Allen Iron Works in Birmingham did a great jobnervous because the company charged so much
less than all the others I called ($330 compared
to $500 to $700). My dad picked up the tub
Wednesday and is storing it in his basement.
The finish on the tub looks like brand-new porcelain even thoughit's actually a thick coat of industrial-strength paint. I'm really
glad I was able to find a place that would refinish the tub for a
price within our $500 budget. (We paid $175 for the tub itself.) If
I hadn't, I probably would have bought a refinishing kit from
Lowe's and tried to do it myself. That would have been a
catastrophe.
The bathtub and claw feet were sandblasted to remove old paint before the new finish was
applied.
The tub was about to be hauled to a landfill when we bought it.
Here's how the inside of the tub looked before it was refinished.
