Anyone have good weekend plans? We are have a fun-filled weekend slowly working on the exposed beam ceiling in our family room. I’m going to be honest here, this is one those projects that I know will be worth every minute when it is done but for the time being, it sucks. Really, really sucks. So time consuming and brutal on the back and neck.
We’ve made progress though. Insulation, drywall and vents are in. All the drywall is perfectly primed and painted. As if that wasn’t enough fun, we need to put trim up, clean the beams and re-stain them to match our dark hardwoods. It may take a few weeks to finish up but here is where we are.

A far cry from this, no?
Or even this a few weeks ago 
Happy weekend! Hope you have a relaxing one or productive one, depending on what you are looking for.
Thanks for following Directions Not Included!
i will also be working on projects all weekend!
and we are going to a national pie day party tomorrow where we bring our fave pie- should be fun and full of fat!
I totally understand! That is how I feel about MOST of my projects… I am always over then about halfway through! But they are worth it in the end! Have fun! Oh and BTW I WILL do projects for wine!!
I have a 3 day week-end and I’m just now deciding what to do with it!
That is going to look great when it’s done but I understand the process of getting there is horrible! I’m hoping to paint my nightstands a fun color this weekend.
Not a single project in this weekends forecast. I’m leaving the cold of Denver for a weekend in Tampa! In fact I’m sitting in the airport right now. Good luck with all those beams! Too bad there isn’t some sort of neck brace that supports your head whilst looking up. I guess they figure you can just load up on some Advil.
Ooooh I hate doing ceilings, it is a killer on the neck and back! We are doing my sons room this weekend, insulating the walls, building a cupboard and fixing the floor… Maybe too much for a weekend:)

Looking good! Can’t wait to see it with trim and the stained beams!
Looks great! We are hoping to finish the skim coating of our drywall in the bathroom. So ready to be done! I feel like going out to buy my paint now just so I can stare at it for motivation.
Great progress! It must feel good to get all that accomplished. We’re working on our guest bath this weekend. I’ll be so glad when it is finished so that I can finally have a weekend to myself again!
looking great! It will totally be worth it, but I understand your pain.
It’s really coming along! We got exactly nothing done this weekend. Which was perfect.
It’s looking sooo good!!
