Texture and Paint

A big thank you goes out to Mike Mikeska of Mikeska Home Improvement. He did the sheetrock, tape and bedding, and the texture. I know its hard to see the texture in the pictures, but it really does look great and it adds so much character to the walls and ceilings! If anyone needs painting done, he can do that also!

Thanks again, Mike, job well done!

Let's start off with the living room. I will post the pictures together, first the texture, then the paint.

The paint looks really good and soon we will have kitchen cabinets and wallpaper.

Our crew is falling apart! Majority of the crew is just getting over swine flu, one with a sinus infection, one possible sinus infection and swine flu, and one with removal of skin cancer. Luckily, the homeowner is just fine!! So when we bid kudos to the paint crew, it is well deserved!!

Sheetrock

I know all of you are patiently waiting for an update.

Let's start off by saying thanks to our contractor, Jeff. You are doing a great job!!


The sheetrock is in. I think it totally changes the look of the house. It is really taking shape now.

The next step is a texture on the walls and ceiling. Then it is paint time. Not too long after that the kitchen cabinets go in.
