Rudy got here around 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning to inspect the kitchen and bring the paint for the remainder of the living areas. He pointed out a few things he wanted fixed and said he'd be back after Angel and Eddie got here.
In the meantime, I shot these two - dining room and foyer. I'm probably not going to publish this post until late on Friday as the difference isn't going to be all that drastic and might not even be noticeable to many. If anything exciting happens, I'll definitely publish but until then, I'm going back to my crocheting.
Wednesday, 1.15.14: I decided to get up earlier than normal today to get some things done - like laundry, dinner prep, etc. - before Angel and Eddie arrive.
Bathroom prep is also on my list of things to do today. As you can see, it's long and narrow with very high ceilings. We're planning on putting a fan or two on the high beam. The Crew should have a ball doing this room last!!! This is the infamous wallpaper that took nearly a year to put up due to the insistence of the insurance company to use certain paper hangers. Once we took matters into our own hands [with approval of the insurance company], it was up in one day!!! By the time it was up, we were bored with it. That was several years - maybe 15 - ago! It's going to be interesting in there - dark like a cave but plenty of north light.

Thursday, 1.16.14: The dining room is now the "holding area" for the living room furniture! The Crew got to work like crazy this morning and have already removed the built-in ceiling speakers, patched the sheetrock and texturized it. The painting in there has begun and I feel sure that they'll be in the Master Bathroom by Friday at some point.

Rudy was looking for a mantle but didn't find anything he thought we would like, so he's going to have one built. I think I would trust Rudy with my life, so a mere mantle is a no-brainer. The Crew will be back on Friday and it should take just a few hours for The Crew to finish up, clean up, stretch the carpet and move the furniture back. Then, it'll be off the the Master Bathroom. Rudy offered to bring The Crew back on Saturday to finish up, but we need a break. And besides, we're going with The Russels to Steak Night at the VFW on Saturday. It should be a while before the mantle is finished and installed but that should be in quick time, as that's Rudy's MO.
1.17.14, Friday: The carpet in the living room has been stretched, and the painting completed with the heavy furniture moved back into place. We've got the small pieces to arrange and the artwork to hang, but that will be fun and at our [Jay's] pace. Jay got the ONE important task completed - the DirecTV wire was attached properly! Yea Jay!
Angel and Eddie started tearing the paper off the Master Bathroom but will be hard back at it on Monday morning! I see a light at the end of the tunnel!!!
End of Week 2 - more to come on Monday!

You're a busy woman. Don't you ever get tired? I can't wait to see it all in March. I hope you enjoyed your night out at the VFW.
