Chance Is Here Today

Sheetrock!!!!

Our addition is officially sheetrocked! We hired Adam Hecathorn and his partner Paul (thanks Lisa Barron for the referral). Adam was finishing up a job that he started when we back him up a week so he couldn't come for the hanging of the rock. So Paul and Adam's brother-in-law came on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday at 4:30pm they had all of the ceilings done. They came again Wednesday morning and by Wedensday nite they had everything done. I can't believe how fast it went up. David and I would still be working on the bathroom cutting out around one of the recessed lights! No offence, but I guess having the right tool really makes a difference.

Unfortunately they are Jehova Witnesses and so Paul spent yesterday at today building a JW church in Morris, MN. So they won't be back until Monday to start the mudding and taping. From what I understand that is a long drawn out process. Paul says that depending on the humidity, the first coat could take up to two days to dry. I really dread the sanding. Just putting up the sheetrock made the whole house dusty.

My cousin Robin's husband is a Plumber and they came over last weekend and he took a walk thru the house. When they got to the master bath he asked David where the vents were for the toilet, shower and sinks. OOPS!!! One person can't remember everything! And, the vents have to go up before the sheetrock can go on those walls. So we had to have the Rockers leave two walls in the bath open and David is going to spend the weekend plumbing. Just when he thought he could coast for a few days!! He started last night and proclaimed that it was going to be a piece of cake. I will believe it when it is all done. To many projects have started that way. I am so thankful for a husband that can do all of this stuff!!!
