Here are just a few photos to give y'all an idea of things. These are actually pretty old, so I'll take some new ones tonight and try to get them up tomorrow/soon/sometime. I cannot wait to do full before-after sets on multiple rooms in the next few weeks!
This is fairly early on in the process, before any repainting...or really much at all. It quickly became a hardhat zone with tools EVERYWHERE and projects EVERYWHERE.
The dining and living rooms were repainted after priming (tip: use Kilz 2 primer, this stuff really is wonderful--worth the money). In clear view is my (then) new Werner 250lb fiberglass ladder!
The bathroom was pretty much to the studs. I rewired it (no more switch
inside the shower and there is an outlet now!!), reinstalled some lath where I needed it to space the drywall/Durock/trim to all match correctly and evenly, hung walls....and then last week tore 1/4 of them back out for plumbing. It looked beautiful for about 20 hours...and will one day soon again. ...three steps forward, two backward.

Notice the light fixture in the picture of me painting- it's our $5,000 chandelier.
