watching sheetrock dry.......

After weeks of crazy progress, this week seemed pretty quiet. It was mostly spent watching sheetrock dry. When we last left our intrepid sheetrockers, they had put up all the rock and cleaned up after themselves. Monday brought a caravan of sheetrockers (kinda like a murder of crows), and they got busy taping all of the seams and screws. There were 8 of them, and they finished in 2 hours and moved on to the next job.

After that, every day this week, they would invade, tape for an hour or so, sometimes set up a huge diesel heater, and then disappear.

The final (we hope) taping was yesterday........It ought to dry nicely, since it's going to be nearly 95degrees here this weekend.

On monday, we're guessing they'll sand and texture, and then it's more drying before the painting can take place. (hopefully by the end of the week) The framers were still working on the siding Well, one of them, sorta, the other was on vacation and the one left behind was not to happy about working by himself, so he kinda plugged away and finally gave up thursday about 2. They probably have about another week of misc. finishing things, soffits, and porch roofs to do and then they'll be done until the porch posts need to be finished.

Up for next week, a garage door, possibly interior painting, a meeting with the painter and the tile guy, and who knows what else. Once the interior painting is done, it's on to flooring and tile, and then cabinets and finish work.
