let the mess begin!




taping...

scraping...


and de-wallpapering!

Prepping for texture (and a 2 second break :) )


and now here comes the texture gun. READY!!...AIM!!

FIRE!!
{please insert a decibel level equal to that of a Jet Engine.}


{also feel free to insert Exhaustion and Texture EVERYWHERE}

but ultimately we have a job well done. way to go guys!

continuing on - clean up...

ceiling painting...


and more prepping for painting!

can i get a witness for the first stripe of color! yea!

and more color! I LOVE the colors of paint! yip!

ha i love this picture :) here's Jerry about to strangle me if i made him pose for one more picture... but he looked like Dapper Dan from Oh Brother Where Art Thou so i couldn't help it!

and finally, moving in!

apparently i over did it on the packing paper...


but all the boxes we put to good use...

and we added a few temporary pieces to liven the place up

this is Jerry's last ounce of energy being joyfully extracted in our very own backyard :)



thank you again everyone for your help! we love you!

Okay, so this has been a process...I was wondering if Lecia was coming into town every week or if these were old...Cant wait to see the final work.
