Some's easy, some's not


If you haven't heard yet, Banjo and I are batching for 2 weeks while Cathryn is off globetrotting to Southern Africa with her Mom. There going to see how they do drywall in Zambia I think.

The drywall work continues. The laundry room had it's challenges including the washer dryer plumbing and the dryer venting.


Plumbing completed

All plugs found and cut out
 I am building a dryer vent with space for the hose so the wiring for the dryer had to be moved farther to the right. Everything fits now.
This hole will have a back when the other side of the wall is done

Finishing the screws on the kitchen walls

Dining room south wall
Because of all the timbers it is necessary to pre paint the sheet with primer before it goes up.  It would be even better to paint them before you hoist them onto the lifter.

Now the small bathroom by the kitchen does have its challenges.  There are beams and posts all over the place requiring a finished edge to the gyproc.  This means putting a j-mold up before the sheet goes up. Simple enough until you add a few notches and plastic to protect the timbers from mudding later.

Cut and ready to lift

Sliding in under the trim at the top and along the left side

The finished piece with plastic in place
Just close enough to hear what I'm doing

Off for a little walk across the valley and then back to work
Tomorrow should see the finish of the powder room and then it's on to the office.  I'll have to disconnect everything to do this and hook up the new telephone and cable wiring at the same time. That should slow down progress some.
