Spraying the knockdown texture

Popcorn Ceiling Removal - Day 2

All the ceilings in the house have been scraped, and the popcorn cleaned up and about 20% of the garage was completebefore we called it a day. You'll notice in the pictures that the entire inside of the house has been covered in plastic, and taped 100%.

This really is the key, while scraping popcorn ceilings is not necessarily a difficult project, it is nonetheless very messy. If done improperly, untold damage could occur to the flooring, and adjacent finished surfaces.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Echo Atlantic is starting a new job today in Merritt Island. Some friends just bought a house and want some work done before they move in. We are completely re-doing the hall bathroom, new tub, new tiled shower walls, new toilet, vanity and sink. They are also having me scrape all the popcorn ceilings in the entire house and garage, and re-texture with a knockdown. Did I mention that she is planning to have a party at the new house next Saturday? Eight days from now. In fact, I better get going!

Hard to tell from the pictures, but there's a whole lot of popcorn ceilings, well over 2000 sf.

Big yard sign at Yawl Drive

My one big sign goes up for the first time.

Roofers are starting today, and should have me dried in by Saturday.

We had our electrical walkthrough last night with the Owner and my electrical contractor, clearing the way to get him started roughing in. There were of course numerous changes and additions. Gotta love change orders.

Trim Work and Painting

Almost Done! My cleaning lady, Jessica, was at the job yesterday to do a final clean, leaving only the electrical trim out to be completed. The home owner is doing all the electrical work himself, so Echo Atlantic is basically complete with this project.

Major remodel begins at Yawl Drive

Echo Atlantic began the demo phase Friday, 10/31/08. The home Owners decided to move out during construction, and had movers put all their stuff in storage. This makes my job alot easier.

Keep your eye on this job as it progresses, as we're adding a wood burning fireplace, some interior columns, light beams around the kitchen, as well as getting rid of all the popcorn ceilings, and retexturing the entire house (walls and ceilings). This will look like a brand new house when I'm done.

We finished installing the tile, grouted and sealed, Friday morning. On Saturday morning I met my trim carpenter there to finish installing the window sills with crown moulding, chair rail and the base board. Final paint, electrical and hvac trim out should be completed by Monday evening.
