The Saga of the Ceiling

IT IS STILL NOT DONE!
My hopes for getting our room done in 2 days has not turned into 3 and will probably take us 2 more! We are now on our 3rd bucket of textured ceiling paint...:( Our friend Jeff F. came over on Sunday to help us. Wow, it was so nice to have help! He gave us some great ideas for fixing the ceiling. One of them was to scrape off what Shawn had already done (basically flush a tub of paint down the toilet), and start over. So.......Shawn and Jeff scraped and flung paint chunks everywhere. After about 5 hours they got a little over half done. I'm sure it would have taken Shawn double that to do it himself. Thanks Jeff!!!
Shawn continued to work on it tonight and ran out of paint when he just has a little of the ceiling left! So to Home Depot we go for the 4th time. :)
If anyone ever needs help with painting their ceiling...don't call us!:)










What do you think of the color?








Not many friends would volunteer to come over and help scrape paint off of the ceiling! We appreciate you Jeff!






Imagine this mess ALL OVER THE ENTIRE ROOM!








Stay tuned for the hopeful conclusion of this saga......

Jeff was thrilled to see that he made it on your blog (and I'm a fan of the picture of him looking all manly doing work on the ceiling :-)!
