Thought I would share some of the work I did upstairs in my house. Some of the pictures are repeats, but whatever. Before I moved in ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Upstairsbedroom4.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Upstairsbedroom4.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/UpstairsBedroom.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/UpstairsBedroom.jpg) After :spank: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/HPIM2999.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/HPIM2999.jpg) and even later ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/destroyed5-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/destroyed5-1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Dormer8-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Dormer8-1.jpg) ---

Here are some more pics of the upstairs progress… This is the same angle as the others, but with the Foam insulation (worth every dime BTW) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture012.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture012.jpg) and more ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture013.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture013.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture014.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture014.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture015.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture015.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture099.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture099.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture098.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Picture098.jpg) X… ---

Time for some pimer, then paint on those walls. As you can tell by the carpet, I moved the wall over a little bit to give me more room upstairs. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint007.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint007.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint004.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint004.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint010.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint010.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint009.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint009.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint008.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint008.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint013.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint013.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint012.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint012.jpg) and then paint… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint017-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint017-1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint018.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint018.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint020.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint020.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint019.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/upstairspaint019.jpg) Here you can tell once again by the carpet, that I removed a closet on the side wall.
