Weekend Update

I worked on the livingroom a lot this weekend....but we are at the stage where you really can't tell anything is happening. It is slow going and easy to get discouraged because you feel tired and you sure made a mess but no one but you really knows what progress was made.

Friday night I mostly sanded and got things ready for a big day of working on the walls on Saturday. You can see in this picture that there is some fill work that needs to be done up at the ceiling. That area was covered with crown molding and I have filled it some already and will finish that up so we don't have to put up more crown molding to cover it up. This was taken tonight (Sunday) after the ceiling was filled in and all the sanding around the window was done and the final coat of mud applied. I ran out of mud....again.... so I was forced
to quit early.

This is a sideways picture if of the hallway. I am removing the carpet. This really makes my family nervous. All the dirt under said carpet really made me nervous. :) I am removing all the carpet and as of right now am planning on not replacing it with new carpet but putting in ceramic tile instead....we will see if I hold fast to that plan or cave under the pressure (mostly from Cole) to recarpet. I think we can come to a nice compromise in which I win by putting in the tile but Cole wins because there is a throw rug. Win-Win....that is the goal.
