70's Cleansing

So, we closed on our house in Cary, NC on Friday and I put my remodeling crew right to work. And by crew I mean my in-laws, Howard & Judy. For some reason they keep volunteering for the grunt work. And who am I to say no when it makes them so happy? Oh, the sacrifices a loving son-in-law has to make.


First order of business? Wallpaper removal. All 6 rooms of it. Here are some before, during and after shots:



What's next? Not much. Just a complete kitchen overhaul, scraping popcorn ceilings, repainting every room in the house and new flooring install. I'm sure Howard and Judy will have it done in a couple of days.

More updates to come.

ah yes, it's nice to know Jeremy isn't the only one with such helpful in-laws. My mom and dad don't feel like a visit is complete until there is a finished project. Over the years they have (along with my grandmother) painted our kitchen, put furniture together, painted Emily's room, painted the playroom, re-upholstered a couch, planted many flowers, installed our kitchen floor and on and on. It's a beautiful thing!

I agree Jenn! Glad to hear you've reaped the benefits of uber helpful folks too.

Thanks for continuing to set good examples for me Fred. I can't wait to get my father in law down for a visit and bucket full of chores, er, I mean love!
