We got a call from the project manager, basking in the luxury of Vancouver Pan Pacific Hotel, and were told to make sure that we primed all the drywall that sits behind the beams. Of course this led to some discussion but in the end we are just pawns in this project and, as you will see, we did paint as requested.
So we decided to start the Great Room East wall. Sounds simple. It took a lot of thinking, of course, always with safety in mind. We decided to put a shelf on the wall for the drywall to sit on. We cut the hole for the light and then hoisted the sheet up as high as it would go, slipping it behind the beam at the same time.

| Wall supports first |

| Muscles hoist it into place |

| Just about to lean it against the wall |

| Ready for the manual lift onto the lumber |
No wait, she said to paint them, oh damn, off to the 108 lumber yard for primer....let's try this again.
 |
| Did she do it all by herself? |
 |
| A few screws across the top and..... |
 |
| Voila!!!!! |
 |
| Note all the impediments to our progress |
Now that we have the hang of this we will probably complete the East wall. Tomorrow.
