Anyhow, great progress is being made on the house! Mr. Business is an insurance agent, and he works only from referrals - meaning, he gets his customers from referral sources such as mortgage brokers, realtors, painters, networking groups, etc (versus internet leads or cold-calling). So normally when we have to have something done on our house, we use someone from one of his networking groups or one of his customers.
However, since we are having so much done on the house and since we're sticking to a tight budget, we decided to look to the interwebz for an inexpensive painter. And boy, did we find one! We found this guy named Josh from Craigslist, and he has been incredible. His price for scraping the ceiling was half of what our other guy quoted us! He and his crew started scraping the popcorn ceilings yesterday morning, and by last night, they were done!

So, have any of y'all ever seen them remove popcorn ceilings? Yeah, neither had I. They basically take a hose, and spray the ceiling with water. It's crazy. Then they use these huge spatulas, and scrape the bubbles down. It is a dirty, dirty, dirty job. And I am so glad these men are taking care of it for us!
Right now, they're at the house painting the ceilings a pretty white. I cannot wait to get back over there and see how it looks!
