The guest room has been emptied, carpet pulled up, and the trim, walls, and ceiling painted.  In the process of painting the ceiling, I got to watch a section of the popcorn literally peel off and stick to the roller.  Good times.  Thankfully Home Depot sells “popcorn ceiling in a can” and it looks pretty good, so once it dries I’ll paint over it as well.  Now I’ve just got to wait for the flooring guys to come and install the laminate so that I can empty the living room to get one big step closer to having the upstairs done.
