Moving in and demo of the closet

The back room really sold us on the house. The light is amazing; sun streams in all morning and afternoon. The view is facing west out onto the backyard with only the train tracks along that side of the property.

Immediately after getting the keys we ripped out the existing carpet. Once orange it was now grayish and the under pad was merely dust. The other thing that had to go was the huge closet on the north side. Running almost the entire wall, they seemed to think it was a good idea to end it 18” from the wall leaving a lovely unusable space in the corner

Ripping it out was easy, patching it back up took a lot longer than expected.

And now we know: patching is hard, drywall dust is a huge mess and don’t hire your friends
