House in Progress Diary

We're Moving! (to Another Room)

Today we prepared for the next wave of attack on the house by moving our things to the other first floor bedroom.

This will allow us to remove the ceiling from the first bedroom. It's in pretty bad shape, so it was coming down eventually, and at this point we'll need to get in there to sister the joists below the master bathroom upstairs.

So, in a way it was "moving day" almost exactly one year after we moved out of our condo! Aside from the new bedroom being slightly smaller, the biggest change is probably just the scenery...

Here's the ceilings we look at when we'll wake up now vs. before. Definitely an improvement.

And here is the view at the foot of our bed. Ack, the crazy wall!

Clearly we'll be having dreams incorporating the Ice Bowl or Blue Highways this summer.

Well, I guess that if challenging conditions contribute something to our motivation we should be finished with the master bedroom upstairs in no time!
