Working at the House

Matt was supposed to work the Monday after Christmas but ended up not being put on the schedule! We were thrilled to have that time. We went over to the house to do more cleaning.

I'm cleaning the half bath on the first floor while Matt cleaned the laundry room that is adjacent to the bathroom.

And Matt cleaning the floor too with his little shadow close by.


Good work, babe!


Heading home once again.


In front of the house.


Later that week we got the vaulted ceiling over the kitchen and front room scraped. The whole house had popcorn ceilings a year ago. But the previous owner had the whole rest of the house scraped EXCEPT for this ceiling, so we decided to go ahead and get it done.

For those who are curious as to what this project looks like (Dad!), I took a few pictures the one night we were there.




Crawling around up there is kind of a weird/scary feeling. I just did it last week cleaning up their dust.


These are the tools they use.


You can see that this guy on the left has a spray bottle. They wet it down and scrape it off. Because the previous owner had the popcorn painted in the summer, this job probably was a little bit more difficult according to the estimator/owner of the company.




Nathan came along to check out their work.


This is a messy job. So glad we got it done now because it would be a P-A-I-N to do it when we lived there. Considering the 3-4 day job actually took 10, it would be nearly impossible...especially with a one year old!
