Drywall Days #2, 3, and 4 - January 16, 17, and 18

If anyone ever tells you that removing popcorn ceilings is the messiest thing they've ever experienced, believe them. It's no joke.  And it is a lot of work.  And it is really smelly when they prime the ceiling after taking off the popcorn. (Kinda like living inside of a can of spray paint smelly. They make you leave your house while they paint the primer on the ceiling and you have to wait several hours before you can go home...and even if it is 38 degrees that night, you're willing to sleep with the windows open because you're afraid to sleep with them shut.)

But it is done and it looks really, really good!

Unfortunately these pictures do not do the whole situation justice.  It is hard to capture just how messy things were and how much dust was floating in the air, but it will provide a feel for it anyway...

Time lapse:











I love it, and it is easy to see how the room is going to look now with all the gaping holes in the walls gone, and the wall around the fireplace fixed.  Very exciting and such good progress!!!

Now, on to cabinets!
