The Third Weekend.

We got a whole lot of work done this weekend. I'm feeling optimistic that we might be finished by the end of next weekend.

Keith showed up right on time both Saturday and Sunday mornings, and repaired the drywall in the remaining two bathrooms. He also had to redo a few spots in the downstairs bathroom:







It is now nicely repainted and hopefully finished:





On Saturday morning, we finished the sanding in the living room. Finished!! We were finally able to start working on painting it.

First we had to tape everything off, which took a ridiculously long time:



Then we put a coat of primer on:









And today we painted it with the first coat of paint:







Ben put another coat on the guest room:







I primed both upstairs bathrooms and put a first coat of paint on the master:







The guest bathroom is still unpainted for now.



Our friend Sara came over and painted the closet in the master bedroom:



And Danny also helped by painting the washer/dryer closet and putting a second coat around the edges of the living/dining area (no pictures, sadly).

Finally, Ben started working on the walls in the last untouched room, the master bedroom. He pulled out a million heavy duty wall anchors and spackled over the holes, and also started with a little bit of sanding. You can see the texture here:





That's it!
