The bedroom may not be our most pressing problem, but we were only up for one day and wanted to accomplish SOMETHING. We tried to at least get the cosmetic appearance of the bedroom a little bit in shape so we have one less-squalid room to sleep in while we tear apart everything else. About what you are looking at above: those big white things are pieces of old ceiling paint that basically came off in huge sheets. We couldn't sand much, because as we found out after peeling off some of this paint, the walls are literally made of glorified cardboard--- it's this pressboard material, and the panels on the ceiling are so bowed they look as if someone has tacked old bedsheets up on the ceiling. Unfortunately, we aren't quite ready to deal with that yet, so we just slapped some new paint on it until we are ready to rip it all out, put in new sheetrock and insulate the attic crawlspace.
