House Progress

So I know everyone's been waiting on pins and needles for an update on the new house. Ha! Yeah right!

But things are coming along with it. All of the ceilings have been scraped free of popcorn. Ryan has had a lot of help from great friends to get it done. Here are a few pictures of the action.

First you spray the ceiling with water...in your hazmat suit :)

 

Then you scrape the popcorn off

Little by little

If you're lucky if comes off in a huge sheet!

Pretty, smooth ceiling

Then you have to prime and paint it

And if you're really lucky, you get a cute little helper!

Hailey's room is the only room that's totally done; ceilings, walls and all. It makes me so excited to finally see her room with paint on the walls.

Just a peek at the color...it's a light purple

It's exciting to see the house become what we want it to be. We still have a long ways to go, but we are making progress. We have had so much help from friends and family to get us to this point and we are so thankful. We've hit a small snag in the progress because most of the ceilings are having to have at least 2 coats of paint on them, so it's taking longer than we anticipated. We (well, mostly me I think) are ready to get it all finished and finally get in the house.

 

Most of the time when the house is being worked on, Hailey and I are at the apartment, away from the flying dust and plaster. But in case you're wondering how Hailey entertains herself during our trips to the house to say hello...
