Drywall Party - September 19, 2009

This past Saturday was our dry-wall party. We had a few friends and neighbors over to help out. A big "THANK YOU" goes out to Mike, Bill and Carl (our neighbors) and to Mike and Greg (friends). I'd also like to say "THANK YOU" to Dino (our next door neighbor). He felt bad about not making it early to help with the drywall so he cut my grass. THANKS TO ALL!!


Kristen's dad rented a lift to help us with the ceiling panels. He rented it for two days, but we were able to get it done quickly so we were able to return it later Saturday. We worked from about 8am to 5pm and got almost all of it done. The only remaining pieces are more trim work and small pieces that one person can handle. We'll hopefully have this all done by the weekend and then can have the inspector in on Monday to okay the work. Then we can start taping and mudding.

Even Alexis got in the act! She was our official "Line Snapper". We marked the studs with a chalk line and she was the person to pull the snap the string.



With the drywall up, the rooms are truly starting to take shape and look like rooms. We can't wait to get this done!!
