Walls Up!

Blogging a little early - evidence logging is monotonous and needed a break. Outlet. Outlet. Switch. Outlet. Outlet. Switch. Pipe. Pipe. Fixture. Outlet. Switch... you get the idea.

Took the kids for donuts and the zoo today - had a great time. Needed to get some things done at house, pick up mail, and the drywall crew wanted to talk today too, so stopped by in the afternoon.

When I got home this afternoon, the house was fully drywalled, all scrap in the dumpster (my 5th, by the way), house swept clean, and all seams were taped and mudded! Met with Jorge from TIW just now, and I think he just wanted to see if I was surprised - which I was, happily. We walked the house, no missing wires outlets, or electrical work boxes - everything looked great. I have one stud to add in the bathroom which I'll do tomorrow.

Outlook going forward - nothing tomorrow, but back in to re-mud and sand Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - finish coat and knockdown Thursday and Friday - he hopes to be completely done on Friday - ready to paint on Saturday! At worst, paint on Sunday. I got a weekend back!!

On another note, TRAGEDY STRUCK while I was away. Apparently, somebody turned the little dorm fridge in the attic up to maximum cold last week. Yesterday, with nobody opening it in the 100 degree heat to let the cold out, all the Guinness froze and several caps popped off and leaked their sweet nectar (in a slushy form) all over the fridge. Oh, the humanity! And what's worse was all the Bud Light survived! Who is going to drink this Bud Light now that Angie and Paul are gone!?! Will the torment and suffering this project is imposing on me never end!?!

OK, back to work...
