House Update

A little while ago, I posted about how our kitchen is a disaster area due to a pipe freezing and then bursting. Here's an updated picture:


We're almost there. The joists have been repaired, a new ceiling has been put up, and the texture on the ceiling has been replicated. Speaking of the ceiling texture, I have to tell you that I never really looked closely at our original ceiling. To us, the new texture looks really exaggerated, but it's really hard to say. Here is a closeup of the way it looks now:


It's entirely possible that it looks almost exactly the same as the original ceiling, but the texture looks exaggerated to us because we are scrutinizing it right now.

At any rate, we are close to having a normal kitchen again...
