Home Reno 2.1

We've been busy the last two days, due to last night's festivities, I was unable to get a blog out, so I'll update now on yesterday's and today's progress.

John finished ripping down the drywall from the ceiling in dining room and cleaning up the mess, while I prepared the veggies and dip we were taking to a party that evening.

We both finished up around the same time, took a short break and then headed to Home Depot to pick up the drywall, rent their van and bring it home.  We did that in like 40 minutes, which was nice.  After we got a bite to eat, we got to work on putting up the drywall.  It was slow going.  We couldn't get the first piece to fit in properly and I'm not strong enough to hold an 8 foot piece up on my own while John looks around to see what needs to be fixed.  After 3 hours, we had 3 pieces up and called it a day.

Despite being up late, Paul was over shortly before 9am and the boys got to work on the ceiling.  I was told I would be called "when their pride was striped", so I got to do house chores and take pictures all day long!  The guys made some pretty good progress today.  They completely finished drywalling the ceiling and every got started on the taping and mudding!  I'm glad I'm going back to work tomorrow, so that I'm not around for the sand which will begin soon!!  Here are some pictures of the day's work

John and Paul hard at work.

All done!
