Somewhat better

... is how I'm feeling. It no longer feels like I'm swallowing glass when I swallow, but rather mere gravel. We have two ceiling panels up in the house, with about seven to go. Two of the ones going up today are hassles, since they require me re-wiring the ceiling light fixtures through holes I cut in them.

The happy upshot of all of this is that the lead paint test came back negative as to interior paint. A positive result would have made scraping and stripping all the layers of paint and wallpaper a genuine nightmare.

I'm hoping to post some pictures later of the work in progress. The ones I'm really looking forward to posting are, of course, the "after" pictures.
