Remodel update

Since starting our remodel, we have made some decent progress. The first day was spent ripping down the ceiling. That's when we made the discovery that whoever lived here before us applied wallpaper directly to the wooden wall. No sheet rock, no nothing. What kind of person does that? But really, we were 3 hours into the project and already adding to the cost.

The ceilings were raised back to 10 feet and the whole room had sheet rock added where it was needed. The contractor thought they would be able to mud, tape and texture before the weekend, but they were only able to mud and tape.

Daniel spent his day yesterday cutting in can lights and a box for the new ceiling fan. Having an electrician on-staff has seriously saved us a fortune. I can have as many light switches and receptacles as my heart desires. Heaven.

The plan for next week is to wrap things up. They should be able to texture and paint the crown molding today. Hopefully, they will be able to paint in a day and get the crown molding up quickly, as well. We are hoping for everything to be completed by Thursday. We'll see.

Here are some pictures of the progress.






Hopefully, this week will go quickly and I can get down to more important business like shopping!
