Painting

The end of this week has been all inside work. We had Bruce, the sheet rock, molding, paint dude there. Very professional, nice, and fastidious. Thursday the air conditioner was installed. Next week should see the siding finished, plumbing, electrical and the rest of the outside done.

We went through the house last night and tried to decide where the appliances, furniture and other accessories would fit best. Very exciting. Gary is shopping best prices on several things for the kitchen that we want.

House Inside Activity

Not much has happened on the outside of the house this week. They did finish the roof on Monday. They still need to finish the "eyebrows" on the front. They were unable to finish the siding because they were waiting on the inspector to inspect the straps that tie down the house and the hurricane straps in the attic etc.

The Inside guy has been working this week. He is placing the sheet rock and finishing the edges where the pieces come together. Above you can see the ceiling and wall joints of the kitchen / living room before he started.

Here is the end of the day today. The corners are rounded and smoothed in. He is going to paint tomorrow. He will be painting a majority of the walls tomorrow to cover the feathered edges of the sheet rock.

Weekend Drying In

The main roof is together, they just need to put the end on. That's the piece upside down on the white paper.
