Renovations

Bryan and I have been renovating the livingroom.

When we bought the house it had panelling in the living room and popcorn ceilings. Bryan and I decided that we would pull down all of the paneling and put up drywall.

In the process of destroying the panelling we found out that we did not have any installation in one of the walls. It took about a week to pull down all of the panelling and to scrape the ceiling. After the ceiling was scraped we noticed that the taping job sucked and needed to fix it.

Bryan worked for about a week trying to get the taping job right. Bryan, Gini (my mother-in-law) and I hung drywall the next weekend. Gini and i were not that great of help because we did not have a clue what to do. Gini's admirer came over and hung drywall with Bryan. Tommy and Bryan were able to put up the drywall on 2 walls in 1 hour and it took Bryan Gini and I 2 hours to do one wall.

Bryan and I had a electrician come to the house and put in recessed lighting. Home depot came in the following day and put in new capet with extra thick padding. (I LOVE IT) Bryan and I had everyone over for Labor Day weekend to show off the new room. Here are some before and after pictures of our livingroom.

(I will be posting pictures tomorrow when bryan is home with the laptop!)

This is what we looked like after working in the room for a day!
