We want to put ceiling fans in every bedroom, so we relocated the vents to side of each room and we are putting ceiling boxes put in the center of the rooms.We also opened up two walls, one in the master bath, and one going from the dining room into the kitchen.All the ceilings upstairs have been re-textured.All the bedroom walls have been painted as well as the living room downstairs.The upstairs hall bathroom had tile on the walls that was pulled out during demo and we are in the middle of replacing the sheetrock there.Our goal for this week is:1- Putting the upstairs bathrooms back together, new vanities, new toilets...etc.  2- Framing in the new openings that we created.3- New sheetrock and insualtion in the den.4- Finish trim painting upstairs5-Painting the rest of downstairs6-Finishing a downstairs coat closet(currently not sheetrocked).The 1st pic is the den, it was taken before all the paneling was removedThe 2nd pic is the kitchen, the soffit in the pic is now goneThe 3rd pic is the downstairs living room and dining room(that light fixture is going)The last 2 pics are two of the four bedrooms upstairs.
