Last night after work (and dinner) I started taping the gym. This involved tightening 90% of the screws first, then spackling the screws and finally taping the seams. The ceilings will have to wait because the tile is still in that room and needs to be moved before I can reach part of the ceiling.
I’m hoping to tape the corners tonight and get a second coat on the screws.
We had a very busy Sunday today.
We got the drywall up in the bathroom finally. We had to make some framing changes for the doorway – Ryan got started on that bright and early this morning. Then we moved on to getting the drywall up which took the rest of the day. Finally the extra drywall is stored in the basement and we can start taping the gym since it’s emptied out now.
Today is PJ‘s birthday and here’s some wisdom from his older sister:
Getting older doesn’t have to mean losing sight of the carefree, fun loving, adventurous child inside. Embrace new opportunities and adventures in life and always remember you work to live you don’t live to work!
My family converged on my sister this weekend. Both to celebrate my brother‘s upcoming birthday and to work on her house a bit. They renovated their upstairs bathroom and they’re down to finishing details. Ryan helped with some tiling in the shower while my dad worked on making and putting up the trim (around window/door and baseboards). It really looks great and just needs some paint.
I wish there was more time – more long weekends available, I’d love to go down more often to see progress and help out with painting and everything. And I wish I took some pictures so I could post the progress so far!
