DPP-7, All in a Day's Work!

Why won't blogger rotate the photo???
Here's where the day began

By 2:30 all the priming was done!

Two walls finished by 5:30.

I had scaffolding to get up to the 12 1/2 foot peak!

Ready to finish tomorrow!

Texturing the ceiling

Looked rather like Bert and his chimney sweep brush!  The guy on the right rolled a thick layer of mud and the guy on the left took his broom and pushed it up and down in the mud to make the texture. My shoulders would be killing me!!!

The Lone Decoration

So far....

DPP, Cozy Corner

Friday's Progress

They tell me they will be finished on Monday. Too bad they didn't start on Wednesday, then we wouldn't have to waste a weekend!! argh! I will be doing a lot of the work on my own this week. Will will probably help with some of it. The evenings will be very full. Hopefully, I can start priming on Monday night, but I may have to wait until Tuesday. Lots of painting going on! Once that's done, (Can I do it in a day??), we can rip up the carpet and lay the flooring. So painting Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday evening begin the floor, finishing by Saturday. Sounds doable! Progress will be posted. For my own satisfaction, mostly!

Any suggestions on what to do instead of these horrible lights????

December Photo Project

Today was decorate-the-church day. SOME of us, meaning me, go for the good time with friends. While others are who are REALLY GOOD at decorating do the work or tell me what to do! It's amazing what they come up with. I think it's different every year.
This post is especially for our friend Kristy who we missed terribly this year!

December Photo Project

For awhile this December Photo Project will be about our latest hold-back-decay project. Last night we took down chair rails and scraped off wallpaper. I found paint at Lowes that's the same colors as what's in there, so we're going to be all fresh and clean for the new year.

Will scraping off the wallpaper! It was kind of fun, like peeling your skin after a sunburn! ha!
