The first weekend of owning our new home has passed. Since we closed on Wednesday, Oct. 3, we have been busy with the help of Christie's parents removing all of the popcorn ceilings. It was messy task, but went fairly quick. Very surprising! The white powder filled 8-10 yard bags weighing anywhere from 30-80 pounds. So much popcorn. The ceilings all need to be touched up where of the nail holes became exposed, but other than that, the ceilings are in great shape. The corners where they meet the walls are clean and sharp. Once all the spackling touchups are done, we will prime the ceilings and begin the painting. All of the ceilings, crown moulding, baseboards and walls need to be painted and updated. During that process, we will have the carpet spaces measured and quoted for new carpet. What is in there is 15 years old. Time for a sprucing. Be looking for a picture of the popcorn removal. I should have it up soon. Still in the camera.
