A Red Letter Day

This evening marks the end of a long, dirty, difficult process: I finally finished scraping all the nasty popcorn texture from our ceilings.

The family room and kitchen were scraped about 12 years ago; the kids bedrooms were scraped one year ago. That left the master bedroom, bath, and closet; the two hallways; and the living room and dining room, all done in the past month.

I also finished patching and sanding the dings and holes today.

Next up: priming and painting the ceilings, then painting all the walls and trim in the master bedroom, bath, and closet; dining room, living room, family room, and kitchen; and back hall. The family room and kitchen ceilings need repainting, so I might as well do them while I have the paint tools out.
