Busy couple of weeks

Saturday before Labor Day, we finished the floor by applying a coat of wax finish. On Monday we took fiber paper and covered the entire floor in anticipation of the dry wall application. We are certainly glad we did as drywall people are notoriously messy and these guys are no exception.
Tuesday, we put in the insulation in the walls and in the attic that we had floored for the furnace and water heater. Mike, Barb, Brenda and I did the work and it went pretty quickly. We also fixed the bracing that the HVAC guys cut to install the ducting. We also blocked where the cabinets are to go in the kitchen. Tuesday was a very busy and long day.

Cabinet blocking and insulation

The drywall was delivered on Wednesday and the drywall hangers came on Thursday. 2 guys hung all of the sheet rock in one day and did a great job. The seams were close and neat which made the finish workers job much easier.

Garage wall next to Kitchen

Saturday, 5 finish guys came and taped & mudded all of the drywall. They weren't there but about an hour and they had put on the first coat. They came back yesterday and sanded and put on the second coat. Today they were back and sanded and fixed all of the places that were not up to their standards. They checked all of the taping and mudding with a very bright light and found the imperfections. These guys are good.We both feel that this was money well spent. Mike and I could not have done this in 2 weeks bar none 3 days.

We plan to paint the ceiling tomorrow and hang all of the fans and light fixtures,
We also plan to assemble the cabinets while the girls paint the walls in the kitchen and breakfast area.

Heather is arriving tomorrow afternoon for a long anticipated visit from Portland OR. We have a lot planned to do while she is here, and the annual family reunion is next Sunday. So, we  are not sure how much will be done to the house while she is here. We will see.

Ta ta for now.
