Well, my latest home improvement project is going well. My contractors are in the midst of repairing the popcorn ceiling in my garage. They resecured the drywall that was sagging in a few places, caulked around the various gaps in the ceiling, retaped / resealed all of the seams between the drywall, and got the first round of popcorn sprayed on. My garage looks way better. Tomorrow, they finish the popcorn and install some new insulation, and I'm going to repaint the interior.
This is proving to be an expensive year so far, but I'm pretty happy to get all of these various home improvements done.
