Bruce Master Bedroom Blue
Painted one wall light blue and touched up the other 3 walls
The ceiling had a small leak that gets worse when it rains hard. So I cut into the ceiling 21 x 21 and bought an access panel.
I installed the panel and used a bungee cord to shut the door open. The door is ajar by a mm but that's good in case it leaks, any water will drain out.
I used leftover laminate flooring and laid it on the plyboard. Didn't use glue, just put them together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Added rug where carpet used to be. Installed laminate flooring

Bruce Place Basement Wood
Work was done by James at Super Floors LLC. He installed vinyl COREtec Pro 7 Biscayne (5 boxes). Wood was purchased from Lynnwood in Beltsville MD
We chose this waterproof, natural-wood look for the basement and high traffic area. We may consider installing same type in the kitchen.
Painting was also done in the bedroom, Rec room and bathroom

Atlantic Street Kitchen & Floor
We ripped up the kitchen floor all the way to the sub floor and installed a new kitchen countertop and cabinets.
Previously the last contractor had installed concrete and tile (not even self-leveling compound). The floor was level but the excess weight was causing stress on the joists.
Kam demoed the floor, sub floor and underlayment. To her surprise she found vinyl tile underneath the underlayment
Kam then installed OSD directly over the old vinyl and then poured self-leveling compound.
For the floor moulding, she chose 8" moulding and then installed quarter rounds around the moulding. She chose 8" because the floor was not completely level. This helped tremendously.
Then she installed the subfloor and the roll-out vinyl -- be careful with the vinyl -- it's easy to scratch (especially when moving the fridge).
If there are any nicks or scratches, use clear silicon sealant. Kam used silicon sealant also for the moulding and trim.
Kam prepping to install new gas stove The new Whirlpool range from Home Depot works great. Decided not to get 5 year warranty |

Final product looks amazing and the tile matches the countertop.
