The "end" of the drywall

Despite the absence of recent blogs, Len really has been working.  The goal was to post something when the drywall was truly done and as it happened there were little bits (and a couple of big bits) that cropped up.  So sorry for keeping you waiting!

We are having the drywall finishers in to do quotes today so that should reassure you that we are "close" to completing our part of the drywall project.

Len had to get artistic on two areas in the media room.  The beam out to the post only went 1/2 way across the front of the room and to Len "it looks stupid".  So he constructed a fake extension to the beam and drywalled over it and voila!  Looks good.  The post is lovely wood, presently being protected by plastic and wood strips.
Note the fake extension on the right

The finished product
Remember how I said it would kill Len not to have the wall behind the fireplace finished?  Well I was right and so it was indeed finished.  He will use another method to make a working platform for Nigel to finish the fireplace.
Not done = not acceptable

More uses for the lift and planks over the stairwell
Another ta da! moment


Today is the first day of spring.  Could have fooled us.  It snowed a couple of times, just a skiff, still it was white and cold.  Looking forward to some serious melting soon.
