It only took a year, but the ceiling is now up in the dining room. The day that we were moving in, the toilet overflowed for about 10 or 15 minutes upstairs and no one noticed. It ended up leaking onto the ceiling of the dining room and messed up almost all of the drywall, so we took it down. Now, a little over a year later, with the help of my dad, we got the ceiling up again. I still have to tape, mud and paint it, but at least it is closer to being done. I rented a drywall lift, wow that was a time saver. I also removed all of the metal post holders that were left in our yard after removing the old fence. I was worried that someone would trip and land on one and we would be liable. Now that is no longer a worry. Hopefully our old windows will also be replaced in the next month or so. The guy came and took measurements and tested for lead. He said we were lead free so that was good news. Little by little, things are getting done, but now we are going to need more furniture to fill up the rooms.
