After painting the edges we are finally finished with all the main living areas in our town home. NO MORE POPCORN CRAP. Well, there are 2 closets and the storage area above the washer/dryer still has it but we're not sure if we're going to do those areas.

Surprise under the paint?


We started to scrape the ceilings and we noticed that the paint started to peel back
and we were like huhh? We looked closer and realized that a wall paper runner all the
way around the room instead of being removed prior to being paint
was simply painted over! Stupid people. You can see the ugly color that the room was originally painted. Now we have to completely repaint the whole room......

Finished ceiling after a few days of scraping, pasting, sanding, and painting. We still need to put the fan back up but that is not something I'm looking forward to.

A closer look at where the wall paper runner was just painted over. UHG! MORE WORK!

House Construction Sucks!


The bathroom floor, all the dust!

O chao do banheiro, cheio de poeira!

Lisiane decided to plant some rose bushes, pretty!

The mess in the living room. It took several days of very tiring work to finish both sides of the room.

O bargunca da sala. O trabalho demorou varias dias e cansou muito para fazer os dois lados da sala.

This is the stairway going up to the 2nd floor.

Our condo has been slowly under remolding. We've been getting rid of the cottage cheese/popcorn junk off our whole 1100 Sq Ft place. It's such a pain, not to mention a headache, but it looks so great when it's done....I'll post photos of the finished ceilings in a day or 2.
