Remodel 2008.

Apparently, this is the year. We had a 1970s era popcorn ceiling, which tested positive for asbestos. So we finally got our act together to get an asbestos company to come in and remove the stuff. We had to clear everything out of the house - and into the garage. Once the ceiling came down, and the final air clearance said it was OK us to go back inside, we decided it would be a good time to get the house rewired - and get rid of that wiring circa ??. (It wasn't quite knob and tube, but it was clearly quite old.). So the electricians are working on pulling all new wire, and we're getting canned lights in the living room now. We also have a drywall guy who's working on smoothing out the unfinished ceilings, and patching all the holes the electricians have been making in the walls. So cross your fingers, if all goes well, we'll be ready to paint this weekend - and then stuff can go back in the house! It's pretty miserable right now with a mattress in the middle of the room w/ nothing else in there.

So - ceiling, electrical, drywall, paint. Thought we might try and get the hardwood floor replaced in the front room too (that was pretty badly damaged from water - some of the wood pieces had started "cupping") - but it might take too long to complete - so thankfully - that project's been shelved until "later".
