We are planning to move in on Saturday! It took a little longer than we first thought to get all the work done, but there was a lot that needed to be done. The house was formerly owned by a smoker, so it needed new carpet and new paint, floor to ceiling. In fact, we had the ceilings scraped and retextured, and they look great. The paint is finished except for a few touch-ups, and the carpet should be installed today and tomorrow. I used to wonder why anyone would pay people to paint the inside of their house, but since the entire thing needed to be done before we moved in, and David has to work, and I’m pregnant and have a toddler to take care of, it would have been impossible for us to do it ourselves in a timely manner. I really like the drywall guys who did the ceiling texturing, as well as the painters, who painted all the walls, ceilings, and trim, so if you need a recommendation for either of those, let me know.

David took some “before” pictures a couple of weeks ago, so I’ll try to get some “after” pictures and get them posted. Honestly, though, moving in has priority over picture-taking, so don’t hold your breath!
