Living on a prayer...

We tackled the living room at the same time we worked on the dining room and hit all of the same issues. We also wore the same outfits. Finishing this room was a great accomplishment for the team - we started to taste the victory that carried us through the next few projects.

Dining Room: 1; Team T-J: 2

Pretty much everything that could go wrong in this room did - it took forever to take the wallpaper down, the walls were holey and uneven and rejected our skim coating attempts, then the primer puddled on the wall, blah blah blah... With all of the roadblocks we hit, this room took us about three months from start to finish. Good times.
