Here are a few 'in progress' pics. Notice who is doing the supervising (aka Gemma and Mimi). That grey wall on the right is my worst nightmare. That wall alone took 4 days to peel and we have bonded big time. And note, my mom helped with that wall so I would still be peeling if it weren't for her. (Thanks, Mom!!!) Sadly, she won't allow me to post any pictures of her on this blog.
Overall, this process was beyond painful. I have never in my life been so exhausted, and I have done some fairly strenuous things like hike and mountain bike for hours on end at ridiculous altitudes. Nothing compared to this. And let me make something clear. I still have not shed a tear. I came close. My mom talked me down from the ledge. Still only blood and sweat...and wine. Lots of wine.
I actually tried to get a jump start on the popcorn ceiling this past weekend, but that crashed and burned. Hard to do when you can't lift your arms (some of you heard about the bee/sidewalk incident on Friday morning). But I've put in some good downtime this week and am determined to peel that crap off this weekend before the drywall guy starts next week.
The first phase of the electric work ends today! They will be back to install fixtures (which I still have to buy, shopping, oh lord...) after the drywall work is complete.
