House Update

Here's the latest update on the house. We've got all the walls and ceilings up. I got most the walls in our bedroom painted today. I've still got the burgundy wall to finish and then the ceiling. We got a bid on painting the front room and all the ceilings today.....$1500 PLUS the paint!!!!!!! SO, we'll be renting scaffolding and painting the front room ourselves, we'll see how that goes!!!

Tomorrow Alfredo will texturize the front room and ceiling.

So far this has been the hardest part of this process, ok probably not the hardest part but it definitely ranks up at the top.....our house is filled with mosquito's!!! The workers come in and out all day long and mosquito's are awful right now so some have made our home their home!!!

This is a mosquito bite I got on my eyelid while in the kitchen this morning!!!!! During the day I spray us down with Deet but at night I can't sleep b/c the smell keeps me up so I'm going to try some essential oils that Lindsey recommended.

Tomorrow I'm going to start putting primer on all the ceilings and then paint them. Jonathan's off in a few weekends so that's when we'll tackle the front room. I've got the carpet guy lined up to measure on Wednesday and then the wait is 3 weeks for the carpet to come in and get installed. I'm hoping we can be on our way to some sense of normalcy by Thanksgiving!!! Stay tuned for more updates!!!
