some more updates...

Well, I know it's been about a week but with good reasoning...we have had lots of sheetrock work going on ( the ceiling is fully patched back up and back to normal with texture and paint). I would have posted pics of what's been going on but what's been done would pretty much look the same in a picture. It is just not easy to see any differences in the sheetrock mud that was added each day. This whole process of "mudding" the walls and floating them out takes a lot of time- especially on a two story wall that used to just be at the one story level. Then it has to dry each day and repeat the next and the next until its just right so you don't end up having a "bowed" out wall. And it's not painted yet, but will be the same color as the wall as you go up the stairs, which is SW Sawdust. So today we got texture and electrical run through the bookcase. Here's where we're at:


The angle (trapezoid shape) you see in the corner as you go upstairs is new- it used to be nothing and was a 90 degree angle upstairs where the corners of the banisters met. Does that make sense? Basically an open space, nothing there.
