Slackers

Only 5 sheets today. Finished the TV room and we got most of the master bedroom ceiling up. Also put in boxes for LAN and TV based on Crystal's gentle reminder that we might want that. I figure I'll make a hub and TV switching location somewhere in the pantry. Plumber swears he'll start tomorrow and the guy doing the chimney says he'll be there in a week. I actually believe the second guy :D

Now if we can just nearly finish that bedroom tomorrow......

Another day another 8

It would appear that we get 8 sheets done a night during the week. :D Got 8 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and got another 8 today. We got 30 over the weekend but we spent a lot more time there hitting it. So we're getting there, slow but sure. Maybe not as slow as I think we are...... they are 12 foot sheets and nearly all have to be trimmed on at least one edge, most on two and then nearly every one has an outlet or light (or 2) in it.

Still.......

It's getting done. And that's what really needed to happen. We're taking tomorrow off for some "stuff".

Relaxing, perhaps some Choc Van Straw...

We got 30 sheets up this weekend. And 24 on the three week nights previous so that brings the total to 54. That leaves 59 to go. Got up all the lid I could in the open part of the house while Crystal did walls. So now 24 of the 35 can lights are cut in, and not too badly if I must say so myself. Had to leave a hole for the island range hood to go into and a space for the wood stove flue to be installed. The entire exterior wall on the North side is done, along with the same for the East side. Tomorrow night we'll work on the rest of the living/TV room, then it's on to the master bath while (cross your fingers) the plumber get us all set for the plumbing starting tomorrow.

And special thanks to Christie and Autum for coming out. Christie did the low expansion spray foam in every single window and door in the whole place. Priceless.

Gotta get backfilled and started building the oversize pump house...... It's the middle of August you know.

plodding along

No new track record today. We got another 8 sheets up. And that officially makes us now under 100 to go. :D .... 97 to be exact. That's if I counted right when I planned and bought material. I think we'd have gotten more than 8 tonight but we did the closet. Closets are small and close in and a giant pain in the buttocks. So we finished the one bedroom, did all of the closet we could do until the plumber has finished, and got one sheet hung in the ceiling of the master bath. Tomorrow night we'll blow and go on the green board, one length across the ceilings and sheets down the outside wall all the way through to the dinning room.

We'll just have to see what tomorrow holds.

Full of Sheet

We are officially putting up 113 sheets of drywall as fast as humanly possible.

Tonight after work we got 8 up. Might be fun to keep a daily tally.

I tired

Insulated!!

This isn't the clearest picture. You should see it in person... All the walls are filled in and we're warm and dry for winter!! The insulator guy will come back and put in the triple wall for the wood stove. The plumber starts on Monday.

The guys carried in 113 sheets of drywall yesterday!! I cleverly scheduled it all to happen while I was at work. ;) All I had to do was make the phone calls/texts to schedule everybody and then buy beer at the end of the day. I call that a win for me.

Vacated

The ditches are dug, waiting for the plumber. The whole house is cleared out so that the insulation dudes can do their foamy stuff. All the stuff from in the house is under a heavy duty 16X20 tarp in the yard.

I'm beat.

At some point I'll get to fill the ditches, soon we start drywalling and I"ll have to start on the pump/power house.

I'm thinking we get to rest sometime near the end of September.
