Jackson's Mansion

Renos seem sweeter on a weekday, when you should be at your regular job...

So the drywalling started today in what is formerly know as "the logroom".  Thank goodness for the rented drywall lift.  I am a one man army on this job and could have never done the ceiling without it.  I am sure it has been said hundreds of times, but I will say it again - rent a drywall lift - even if you have plenty of help, it is money well spent.

My first attempt at a roto-zip type tool for cutting holes for the fixtures went fairly well, although some extra putty will be required on the first 2 holes. 

The main window will be here in 2 weeks, so I will have the walls completed by then.

 

With Spring here and the snow melting I spend most of my time looking out the back window at my yard...  waiting for the 3 or 4 days of warmth we are sure to enjoy prior to the mosquitoes!  Honestly, it will be fantastic to work on a few outdoor projects.

Things are progressing inside.  The "log room" is insulated, wired, vapor barriered, and ready for drywall.  The large window will be here in 2-3 weeks.  Next week I will hang the drywall on all but the wall which waits for the window.  It will be nice to see the room start to take shape again. 

We are planning projects far faster than we can afford to start them however.

 Perhaps some pics next week.
