Walls, Paint, Finished

These pictures are the condensed version of MONTHS of torture. I am glad we took on this process ourselves, but if I could go back, I probably would have chosen to hire someone to tape and mud. If you don't know what "tape and mud" means, I hope you never have to experience it. Hire someone, seriously.

We had a bunch of good times thrown in with the frustrating moments. Let's enjoy one "union break" with Mike, my friend since high school:

Then again, the end result did come out pretty well, and it's very satisfying to have done it yourself.
I thought this day would never come. I took these finished pictures just before Thanksgiving 2010, nearly 13 months after we began.
