Before moving into a new house, people often take care of major structural, electrical or plumbing projects. But there are a number of smaller projects that are easier to accomplish while you are still living somewherre else.
A few suggestions follow ……
Repair and Paint the Garage Floor…..before you load up the garage with your stuff, it’s a good idea to repair cracks in the concrete with masonry patching compound. You can even go a step further and finish the floor with a hard-wearing concrete paint which are expoxy-based and very durable and long lasting.
Strip Wood Trim……this will take a lot of work but if you have beautiful old trim under layers of peeling paint, you’ll be rewarded for your work. It’s a messy job and the chemicals are noxious. It could take considerable time but in the long run will be worthwhile.
Remove Old Wallpaper…..though it’s a simple job that requires just a few tools and materials, removing wallpaper is a sloppy process. Aside from the chemicals or steam that you’ll use to loosen the adhesive, you’ll also have a ton of sodden wallpaper to get rid of.
