Sheetrock and stuff




Sunday was the 'perfect' summer day. Dry, not humid, with a high of 75. The 'eye on the sky' is calling for more humidity and heat this coming week with temperatures in the 90's. Over the weekend, we did some painting, picking up, and we insulated interior walls for soundproofing. Basically, any wall with a water pipe, plus all the bathroom walls, and some key walls in the 2nd floor bedrooms. Hope it helps.

I spoke with Brent, our excavator, on Saturday AM. He'll be back this week to install our leach field and trench for the water and propane tank. He didn't show up on Monday, but I expect we'll see him on Tuesday.

Today, the OSB guys started sheetrocking the interior. Another big visual change! They've got a few days to go, but the mudroom is rocked in, as well as 2 of the 1st floor closets. Apparently, they're pretty hard to do. Michael, the mason, came mid-day, and worked on the heater core. It's getting there- That should be wrapped up this week. Meanwhile, Loralee finally settled on a paint color-- Believe it or not, its the darker one she has preferred initially! She got a lot of the south wall done, about 1/3, and it looks great. Darker was the way to go. Later in the week, when more is done, I'll get some pictures up of how that looks.
