The ceiling is complete and looks so beautiful. Paul and Grandpa have finished all of the wood trim and Mary and Todd have put the finishing touches on the sheetrock.Paul, Teresa, Grandpa and I headed to Home Depot (our hang out joint) early Saturday Morning to pick up some long 13 foot pieces of molding to finish the conversion area between the kitchen and great room, another sheet of beadboard and trim to redo the furnace front and some corner molding. We went over the list several times and once again thought our shopping trip was complete. (Little did we know) Everythi
ng was going great until they began to add the trim to the little kitchen eating area and it would not cover. After discussing all the options we decided it would be best to head back to Home Depot and exchange the molding Brad and I had purchased for one a bit thicker. So off we went again knowing that our deadline to have the wood finished was coming close. It all came together in the end and after Pauls stop at Home Depot after work on Monday to pick up a five foot board that we were lacking in the Pantry the wood is finished and beautiful. Todd came Monday morning and textured the ceiling. He is quite a Pro. He said that his "board" is the same one that he built when he was sixteen years old. Just New Plastic covering as needed. "Why did you have this board when you were sixteen?" I asked. LeRoy Roberts and the building trades program at the High School was the reason he said. He really appreciated and loved Mr. 
Roberts for all of the lessons that he taught him about building a house. Todd learned under Mr. Roberts for his three high school years and the opportunities that he gav
e him to learn different skills. We can see how these lessons have really helped Todd to make his own home and many others nicer.

I really couldn't imagine how but he was right. He scraped the ceiling to get all of the little "hangies" off and be sure that everything look nice and smooth. When I swept the floor I had a large pile of white dust. Glad we listened and covered up. He than painted on the primer coat of paint. 
This was a hard and tiring job. In the late afternoon He and Mary came and add the final coat of paint. Working together the job went much quicker. They make a great team. When everyone had left Grandpa and I began the clean up and mopping. I think I am glad for a rest before Amy comes to work on the upper cabinets. ------ Thanks everyone Grandpa has hung the lights back up and DelRay will becoming to finish the can lights. It will be one 
spectacular and bright kitc
