Re: House Projects

I suppose I can add something to this thread now. We sold our house and are in the process of moving to Champlin. We picked up a house from a flipper that did a crappy job, but put in a lot of nice items, like granite countertops, tons of tile work and all new carpet. The bad part is that they went cheap on a lot of things, and did a crappy job on others.

In the living room/kitchen area, they went open concept and removed some walls and cabinets. Unfortunately they just patched the popcorn ceiling and it looked like ass. Fortunately, I've been wanting to get rid of the popcorn anyway, so before we move our stuff in this weekend, I scraped all the popcorn, repaired the sheetrock underneath, and am filling in the previous light fixture holes for all recessed LED lighting. The ceiling will be knockdown with thick crown molding to follow this summer. Oh yeah, it's got a bigger 3-car garage then our old house and room for toys behind it. On to the starting pics.
