Young House Love » Our Second House » Channeling My Favorite TV Serial Killer

Channeling My Favorite TV Serial Killer

Things are getting pretty Dexter around here in preparation for our wall opening. Because when walls come down, dust comes out, and therefore protective plastic must go up! So to set the mood I’ve intentionally left these photos kinda dark and eerie. I’m nothing if not theme-y.

  Dexter 7 John Taping

Oh and since I affectionately call myself Captain Safety (much like Sherry wishes $herdog would catch on), it bears mentioning that old homes can have lead paint, and therefore call for extra precautions (especially if you have little ones and pets around), so you can find more info on that here. We followed those directions and had our walls checked for lead (it’s the thing to do before work begins so you know what you’re dealing with) and ours came back negative. Which was really surprising to us until we read that homes from 1960-1978 only have a 24% chance of having it, so the odds were actually with us. Definitely one of those better safe than sorry things though, and the government takes it pretty seriously if you don’t follow lead-safe practices. So do what you’re told or Dexter Morgan might come for you…

Dexter 5 In Dining Room

Anyway, it was nice to know that we didn’t have lead to worry about, but we still knew from experience that there would be a heckova lot of dust all over everything if we didn’t seal things off. We used this method for construction dust control many a time in our first house when we were demo-ing, so we got to work sealing off the work area in both rooms with giant plastic drop cloths that are taped on all sides (while leaving a sliver of access in the existing doorways for folks to pass through while working).

We decided to line the sides of those “walk-through-here” slivers with painter’s tape so it’s easy to see where to step through so you’re not standing there flinging the curtain around for ten minutes to find the opening.

Dexter 4 Entering Dining

Oh and as for who will be here through the chaos, Clara, Burger, and I will stay at my sister’s house for the day, but Sherry’s staying home to answer questions, tend the blog, and stand behind the plastic sheeting with her eyes bugging out with joy as the wall comes a tumblin’ down.

Also on the dust-control subject, we plan to close all of our air vents in the demo area and then cover them with plastic (like we did here) so no nasty dust will find its way into our ventilation system only to be sprayed out the next time it’s turned on (we’ll keep it off during the job since it should be a one-day thing and our house should maintain it’s temperature pretty well during the day). But as for the vent you see below…

Dexter 3 In Kitchen

… that will actually be where the peninsula meets the half-wall. So we had an hvac pro come out and ensure that losing that vent (and one on the other side) wouldn’t compromise our system. Then with his blessing I went under the crawl space and disconnected and capped ’em (so the vent you see isn’t connected to anything anymore). We actually did that in our first house for our kitchen remodel as well.

Dexter 2 Thru Living Closer

Oh and don’t worry, my Dexter channeling stopped at putting up the protective plastic sheeting. Well that and taking this creepy photo.

Dexter 6 John Hand

Okay and maybe this just happens to be my new ringtone. But I swear that’s it. Nothing else Dexter-y happening around here. Promise.

I kind of feel like a bad a$$ when my phone rings now. And of course Sherry’s jealous (in case you’re wondering, this is her current ring tone – and she dances like the Jersey girl that she is every time it rings). But back to the wall-opening excitement coursing through our veins. Needless to say we’re doing that is-it-tomorrow-yet thing over here. Can’t wait to share pics of our progress as we go.

My husband and I just ordered Showtime late on purpose, so we could watch all the new episodes in a row instead of waiting each week cause we’re always dying (no pun intended lol) to see what happens next. Just got up to the 4th episode last night … We’re gonna try and hold out for the new few and watch those in a group but its so hard! :)

    Also- did you get a haircut? Is that stalkerish? It looks super short and nice. Aaaaaaand cut the awkward.

    Good luck getting it all done tomorrow! :)

    So exciting :) I noticed you have a vent where the half wall will be and am wondering what you plan to do with it once there is cabinetry there. I’m asking because we have the same situation (except with a floor vent) where we are about to add a new cabinet in our kitchen and we haven’t thought of a good solution yet.

      Michelle – the vent can be placed under the cabinet and exit through the toe kick of the cabinet. It’s very common in kitchens.

    I have always thought tv show theme songs make the best ringtones (mine is currently the theme for “The Office”)- those who watch it laugh when they recognize it and those who don’t aren’t looking at me like my phone just shouted out “Mmmbop” in the middle of a college final. That may or may not have actually happened to me. :)

    Aren’t contractors supposed to do all of that sealing for you? When some friends of mine had their kitchen renovated, the company doing the project sealed all of the doors, windows, and vents. The coolest thing was that they actually put in some kind of plastic lining over the door that had a zipper running down it (so that people could get in/out during the project without having to re-tape or mess up the seal every time.

      They can do it if they include it as part of their fee/estimate for sure! We’re just cheap so we said we’d do anything that we could do ourselves, to keep costs down (like trim, drywall, and taping things off). Plus it’s nice to make the call about what’s completely sealed and what’s partially sealed (so work can be diverted towards the front door, which we did in our case so folks weren’t walking through the working part of the kitchen to get outside). The zipper thing sounds super cool though!

    So when we took down our wall, despite taping up all the plastic sheeting we could, our demo guy “forgot” to reseal it back after his lunchbreak.
    To say that I had a coniption when I came home is an unerstatement. I sent everyone out of the house and began to hose down EVERTYHING. So excited for what ya’ll are doing! But, not jealous of the mess that will be coming.

    Hey,
    You guys *so* need to buy the plastic lining zipper. So much easier than dealing with the plastic, and does much better with dust containment.
    Here’s a link to an Amazon one, but I’m sure you could find one locally.

    I used to watch Dexter religiously, but after Michael C. Hall dumped Jennifer Carpenter, it’s been hard for me to watch them as Dexter & Debra. I do read Jeff Lindsay’s books, though, which have gone in a completely different direction from Showtime.

    But I can relate to the plastic and dust — last Christmas I started a reno of my master bedroom, which was a poorly constructed addition built in 1985 without permits. Dust, plastic, splinters, furniture, little dogs running in and out of the house — I must have driven 20 miles just chasing them the quarter-mile of my driveway — and sleeping in the back bedroom I use as my office. Not fun. Add in that I tripped over one dog’s lead in the yard on January 6 — just an hour after the drywallers completed their first day — and dislocated my left shoulder. (For me, DIY = ER visits. My best skill is writing the check to a professional.) And no, the room is NOT done, not by a long shot. I moved back in as soon as the floor was painted (I used three times as much paint as a pro would have), but it’s warmer and structurally sound, so I can deal with patchwork drywall and no trim of any kind.

      That’s a little X that helps us center the table. Haha- we’re so lazy, so keeping the tape there helps scooting it all over trying to center it in front of the window and the built-ins.

    I’ve been reading for years but rarely comment. But I have to say:
    I’M SO EXCITED!
    Bring on the sledgehammer and let’s get down to kitchen bidness. My husband won’t indulge even the slightest of my DIY fantasies, so I count on you for the blow by blows. Thanks!

    Ditto on the ringtone! I let it ring extra long just so I can hear it and smile.

    I have been told that my kitchen is quite Dexter-esque, as it’s all taped off for spraying my kitchen cabinets! Glad I’m not alone. :-)
