The work still in progress

 Primed the patches and painted around the ceiling

 I think it looks good like this- lets leave it..

 This is the former wall paper room, all the spots are patches. I know

 Notice anything different in these next few pictures?

The floor is Gone!!!!!

-Also the walls have been painted. They are not totally done yet so I will post better pic of them later.

 Ben Pulling up our kitchen floor. This one is not as easy, there is an extra sub floor that needs to be removed.

 Joe did a ton of the kitchen after Ben, then Daniel come to help. It looked very labor intensive to me..  from the side lines :)

Here we have the floors in the basement painted

There is still lots more to do, we will be working all week on painting trim and touch up and some yard clean up since the dumpster is being delivered Wednesday then leaving Friday so that only gives us 2 days to declutter the back yard. SO.. if anybody would like to come help we would just love it!!

Thanks so much for the time that our families have spent so far!- we would still be on step 1 without it

Painting

Here are some more Pictures from the last week or so-

Every thing is covered up ready for the paint sprayer

Doors off so they can be sprayed separately

Spraying the ceiling

Notice the amount of patching.. we basically re-sheet rocked the wall with putty

 

..and we found a leak in a basement window during a rainstorm.

I just want to say Thank You to all our family who have spent hours and hours of sweaty hard work cleaning, washing, tearing out pee carpet, puttying, fixing, and hauling out garbage this past weekend.
The progress is amazing!
