Day 1, continued

As you can see, Ryder has already found something to occupy her time. Fortunately, the previous owners were not very focused on yard maintenance and Ryder had plenty to keep her busy.

You can see the backyard from the door in the "den".  In the distance, Ryder is returning with the tennis ball she found.  In the shed we found a gas lawn mower and a number of assorted items that were left behind.

This is the back of the house. Yes, there is plenty of work that can be done there. On the right is the eat-in kitchen and on the left is the master bathrooom.

Popcorn ceiling...what were people thinking???  This was the test area to see if we could accomplish removal of the dreaded textured application. 

Yes, that is a new Boston Red Sox hat.  The old one is somewhere between grey and white. 

And the aftermath.

That took about 5 minutes and we stopped there. Back in the morning to complete the ceiling and work on the textured walls. So many textures to remove!!!
