Renos seem sweeter...

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.

 

 
Special thanks goes out to my Bosch Power Box, which provided the music for the day.  Without it my production would have been fractioned.

3 - Amen on the drywall lift- we used it for our last ceiling and it made all the difference.

And, I agree, it's nice to do work for yourself on a work day for a change! (Comment this)
