Still workin' .....

A few of the areas downstairs now have new suspended tile ceilings.... we've been busy after tearing off the finished drywall and changing it all over.  Most of it got ruined with the water damage from the burst R/O unit cartridge... along with the walls and baseboards and casings etc...but, we didn't re-do that ourselves this time.   We had just finished it at Christmas and didn't have it in us to do it all over ourselves yet again I guess.

The rest of the insurance claim "re-build" is finished now..  it's just us doing our own work with the ceilings ... Greg wanted to do them himself so he could move some lights and organize cables and wires for electronics on his own timetable.

Just the office left to do now.. and we can start hanging pictures and moving the last of the furniture back down there.   It'll be nice to have my front room back to normal...once again....

The hobby room is still over flowing with "stuff" that doesn't belong... it's hard to figure out where to put some of it now.  We sold our desk and office credenza when the water damage happened and we had to move furniture out of the downstairs.  Now... we have nowhere to put some things... time to purge even more I guess.

We spent Sunday purging and re-arranging the storage area downstairs .... it is kinda roomy in there now... ahahaha...oh, oh...  maybe I can put more stuff in it... I better not even think about it.  Just give some stuff away or send it to good will or something...


Wanna see our handiwork?
The landing before we got the tiles all in position..













Fire alarm and lights all done..tiles all in....














Entryway to exercise room...













Speaker and light together in one tile originally...but we moved and changed things....














Entryway now finished...

You're getting there! It's a slow process I know, especially when you have to live in turmoil while the repairs are done. I suppose you have to look on the bright side and think of all that purging that you're doing and how much lighter you'll feel when it's all complete.

It's all looking good and I hope you can sit down and relax. I am sure you will find lots of things to put in the empty spaces but you should go ahead and purge things you will never use.

It looks lovely Vee - lots of hard work, I am sure but well worth it. Let's hope there will soon be an end to it all and you can get down to some serious crafting in that nicely sorted space!

WOW! It looks great! What a pain in the butt to have to do this again....but what else can you do? Hang tough, finish it up...and then enjoy.
