Been a while since the last post, busy few weeks. We finally moved, and now own only one house - hooray! Dad and Eric were in town for over a week, first helping us move, then working tirelessly every day on house projects. Three new areas are now demo'd - the baby's room, the upstairs hallway, and the upstairs storage area that will become the walk-in closet for the master bedroom. They're also partially reconstructed - re-insulated, new electrical, and partially drywalled. Thank goodness Dad and Eric were here, because it would have taken us a full month to do that much work! They toughed it out through the demo of plaster walls in the bedroom, much easier than expected except for how heavy all that plaster is. They thought pulling the billion staples from the old ceiling tiles was the worst project (agreed, that sucks), until Eric started demo on the ceiling in the closet and got covered with dirt, birds' nests (again???), pine needles, and all sorts of other nasty guck.
