Dustbowl

The latest, pitiful view. Soffits and popcorn ceiling be gone!

So I've been a slacker since the last post. Meh.

There's dust. Everywhere.

Over the weekend B and I took down the soffits. That was fun. I have to say they were pretty well attached given the number of nails used. On Sunday the popcorn ceiling met a similar fate. Fortunately B found the trick online: a dilute vinegar/water solution sprayed on the popcorn pretty much loosens it from the surface beneath in a matter of minutes. You can scrape entire sheets off. If it wasn't for the paint we applied six years ago, it would have come off even easier (but I ain't complainin!)

Tomorrow brings the ReStore warehouse pickup crew to take the cabinets, floor and range away. That'll definitely open up some room to work but renders us totally kitchenless. The desire to not eat out anymore will completely drive our rate of renovation!
