In order to enter the house you have pass through a little entryway/vestibule. Thought it would be a fun little project to finish in a couple of weekends. Wrong!
Some of the tiles in the vestibule were already missing and some were loose, making it a tripping hazard for me...Started prying them off by hand whenever I took my shoes off when I got home. Soon I needed to take out a chisel and a hammer and was working on taking them all out. After the tiles came out the floor was still covered with some kind of rubbery adhesive. I am using a heat gun to warm it up and then scape it off. Not a lot of fun but I am more than half way through with this project.
In addition to working on the floor I have prepared the walls for a new coat of paint. Will use leftover paint I have from painting an accent wall in the bedroom where I had used Raccoon Fur by Benjamin Moore.
In the last picture you can see I also took out all the glass panels above the hallway door. Sadly one of the panels broke when I was trying to take it out. Bummer!
