June 16 - Day 341 - More Drywall

First of all: Happy Father's Day to my sexy General Contractor.

He's off the clock here :)

Saturday morning the drywall crew returned to
 drywall the garage and the basement.

We had to wait until the HVAC guys were ready to

close up all the water lines to the upstairs floor heat.

Bryan wasn't quite finished with the wiring down there

so he had to scramble because these guys work fast.

The garage.

I cleaned up after the trim carpenters one last time.

BEFORE:

 AFTER:

I'll be so glad to see that rack of lumber leave my living room!

Day 244 - Drywall work

Seems like we have done a lot of talking the last few days. We talked to flooring people, painters, concrete guy, cabinet guy, a guy who does sink resurfacing and an interor decorator. And I know I forgot a few that Bryan talked to.  So we are getting people lined up but we still have to make decisions on a lot of things and a lot of people. In the meantime:

The walls have been taped, mudded and sanded.

And the ceilings have been done with a very light texture.

This is how the room looked before:

My floor looked pretty nice and clean.

This is how it looked about half way through!

By the time they finished I had a little cleaning up to do.

Rebekah helped me clean on Saturday while

Emily and Bryan worked caulking in the attic.

Days 227 & 228 -- Drywall Begins!

Friday, February 24, they delivered the drywall. Stacks and stacks and stacks of drywall / sheetrock.

And on Saturday, the 25th, they came and put up the drywall. All of it!

Ten guys in one van with all their tools, their lunch and a microwave.

And BAM --  we have drywall up :) 

[Yes, you could say they 'rocked my world - at least my house]

I did not think it would go this fast!

Of course they still have to tape and mud and sand it all.

I don't know how long that will take, but I

guess I'd better get the paint colors picked out!
