Start of the Renovation

Well we decided to start our renovation as soon as possible. So today was our first day of trying to make our new "old" house better. Our first attack were the walls in the living. Why the living? I have know idea, maybe because it was right there when we opened the door, I don't know. Anyways all of the walls downstairs had this weird textured covering and we wanted smooth flat walls. So we decided to flatten the walls. We figured we could either sand the wall down or try adding some kind of compound to the wall. We went with adding compound. So here we are today adding compound to the wall and flattening it out with our drywall knives. Needless to say it is going to take us the whole weekend just to spackle the wall with compound.

Here I am trying to smooth out the compound on the wall, it is not that easy.
