This weekend was exclusively spent working on the house and we are making great progress!
I am not feeling very linear tonight, so here are some photos and notes.
Here is Eric working on sanding the ceilings.
As you might recall, we scraped all of the popcorn off the ceilings, but in the living room and kitchen areas the popcorn was painted over and difficult to completely get off of the ceiling. This posed a problem for the finished product, so Eric went back over it with a sander (taking MANY hours) and the finished product was well worth it. It looks smooth and normal and fantastic! My Mom was a great help on Saturday painting doors (in the background of the picture above).
On Friday we put up the LAST wall and decided to leave a gift for the next homeowner-- One of our wedding beer koozies, an empty Pabst and a photo of us with a little note. Egotistical and fun. Here she is:
So Saturday we got the rest of the house ready to paint, and Sunday we had help from friends Heather & Jesse and Nick Martin. We finished priming the main living room, and got the first coat of paint up!
Here is Heather:
... And Nick and Jesse:
Here is the wall in the living room painted. The trim around the windows will be white. The wall color is butter.
Yay! Color!
