Why does life get in the way?

We have had a lot of life events happen, which has caused our delays. I guess since it is football season, school is back in session, we can now get back to the house. Our life events at lease are exciting: Ciera got engaged to Dylan, Ciera and Dylan bought a house (which included a weekend move in there), I’m ending my job with Optum and taking on a new opportunity. The only constant is Chad hasn’t changed a thing. That is really a good thing! So let me get you updated on where we are at. The last post I showed you how we put in the door to the extra bedroom for the landing. We have now put a temporary floor that connects the landing out of Ciera’s bedroom and the extra bedroom so we could get the popcorn ceiling sanded and get things retextured. Chad did get it all sanded, mudded, sanded again, so we are ready for painting. We should be able to get that done this week or definitely next weekend.

We will be putting a door off of the extra bedroom landing into the garage, but need some “man” help to get new plywood into the attic, so that will be the Oct 12 as Dylan is going to let us borrow his muscles (teaser for what is to come). This way we can close off the access to the attic from the garage making getting all of my Halloween decorations in/out of the house much, much easier!

Before – need to sand the ceiling and enclose where the vent is. We put in the mini-splits, so that duct work isn’t being used.

Looking towards Ciera’s room as I’m sure I’ll have an “after” picture when we are done.
