beginning the process...
...of putting the house back together.
Things are moving along slowly at the house, but they are moving.
EVERYTHING has been removed from the house to be cleaned, except for a few oversized pieces of bedroom furniture that would have had to go out a window and be lowered, in order to remove them from the house (the way they came in years ago.....we have very narrow butterfly steps...only small pieces of furniture can be carried up the stairs.)
Those pieces were cleaned on site. The inside of the house has now been "de-sooted"! .
Larry has a meeting on Monday with the carpenter, plumber and electrician and hopefully he'll find out when they can start the priming and painting .
I want these people to start doing their thing!!!
Meanwhile, Larry has decided there's no reason he can't put in the new kitchen ceiling.
This is one project I'm glad to get done.
If you remember, Larry replaced the ceiling not too long ago.
He put in the drop ceiling tile system.
You can choose from a large variety of tile patterns.
The first time around I saw a pattern that looked and was described as beadboard.
I thought it was exactly what I wanted for my farmhouse kitchen ceiling.
Unfortunately, sometimes things look different in person.
After Larry installed it, we were rather disappointed.
It didn't look AT ALL as I had imagined it would look. Instead of beadboard, it looked like the inside of a corrugated shipping container.
Larry even volunteered to just scrap the tiles and order new ones if I wanted.
In the end I decided to just live with it for awhile.
Time's up!
I'm liking my choice this time 100%!
It's not even done yet, but I am liking this ceiling 100% better!!
Just the first of about 100 projects Larry will probably be tackling these next couple of months.!
