I wasnt able to get any drywall up this weekend due to a 4 way light circut that just drove me crazy. Tuesday night on the other hand, I was off and running. Here I am making my first cut for the ceiling.
Thursday night I was able to get most of one wall done. I plan on having all the drywall done this weekend unless I decide to replace the sliding door and install the french door and windows. I started to get that all ready on thursday night as well.
This isnt a very good picture but I have to expose the header above the windows and door and tie them together w/ metal straping. Then I can center the french door and put the windows on each side. I think it will make that wall look way better.
This picture is a bit splotchy w/ dust in the air but as you can see the dry wall is all up including the bathroom. There will be a few more areas that need some small pieces added but I can now start mudding and taping...did I ever say I hate mudding and taping? Let me just get this straight. It ranks right up there w/ pumping a septic tank! Oh the levels I will fall to to save a bit of $$!
Well after a full 7 hours of nonstop work Chery and I were able to close the door on our new french door. I must say this project really made a difference in how the living room feels. Having basically a wall of windows that looks out on Chuckanut Mt. is a definite bonus. It is kind of funny that it wasn't until after we closed on this house that I realized that it does have a view.
