Day One - Ceiling repair is helping the economy, Now we can use some help

In an effort to help the economy get better, LoriAnn and I have hired an independent contractor to come to our home and install a new ceiling throughout half of our house. Ok, we really aren’t that progressive. The fact that the ceiling needs repair is the real reason for the effort. We plan to have the Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room, Upper Bedroom, and office ceilings worked on.
To facilitate this, we moved all of the furniture, boxes, TVs, and other stuff – either to the basement or the garage. Its hard to believe that all of our worldly belongings have fit either into our basement or into the Garage. We are so thankful for the help that we got from my daughter Megan, brother Steve and a good friend Tom.

We plan to live in the basement while upstairs is being work on. It'll be a tight fit but we should be able to get a good night sleep or relax and watch TV. LoriAnn will try to work while the contractor is here. If it gets to loud or noisy, she has a neighbor willing to let her use there home during the day.

The bare walls really need help. We have plans to start painting the bedroom walls as soon as we get back into the rooms. We'll do the office walls after we get into the bedroom.It could be as early as Thursday night. But we aren't planning anything until Saturday.
