We've got drywall folks.
Here's the loot, in all its glory.
The boys spent a Saturday hanging it. This is the ceiling downstairs:
The most exciting part of drywalling for Will was finally being able to take the door off that separated the old part of the house from the new part of the house.
Remember this?
Sorry door, you are no more. It kinda looks dead the way it's just laying there.
Now we can see all the way through the house. It was weird and exciting to have to start changing our mentality to thinking of the addition as part of our living space. It's just that it's been there sooooooo long, but has always been partitioned off.
And the stairwell:
The beanette's nursery hallway:
And our bedroom:
Drywalling is very tedious work, and yes, we are doing it ourselves (it's totally appropriate to call us crazy at this point). We managed to finish all the mudding and sanding in the mudroom, but are still trudging away upstairs. Thankfully though, we were able to paint the mudroom (Benjamin Moore HC-115 Georgian Green) last weekend with help from my dad and Travis and Ashlee:
Our next big task is tiling. Our friend Chris Elam (who drew up the plans for our house and also owns Sycamore Tile Works with his wife Emily...seriously, check them out and order some sweet house numbers as gifts for holidays and weddings!) lended his help and expertise to get us started. Will, Tim, and Chris were able to lay all the cement backerboard in just a few hours...an encouraging quick win after several weeks of drywalling with several more in sight:
Ummm, did I mention that neither of us have ever tiled before? Ever?
This should be interesting...
