Drywall Project is Underway

We've moved next door to Paul and Lisa's so we can drywall without living in a dust storm. That is a favour that we'll be working off for years!

Everything is out of the main part of the house, and moved to our pantry, bathroom, Rob's shop, or Paul and Lisa's. All the insulation is in, the vapour barrier is up, and the sheetrock arrives on Wednesday. Coincidentally, the drywall arrives at my paid jobsite on Wednesday as well. It's currently looking like 8 hours of drywall at work, followed by a 1 hour dinner, then 5 hours of drywall at home. There will be a nice break on the weekends where I'll get in 12 hours of drywall all at the same jobsite.

We're steeling ourselves for 2-3 weeks of intense work, long days, no weekends, and dust in every conceivable orifice. After that, though, we'll be in a house with finished drywall, and painted walls. I hope we make it. Wish us luck!

1 hour for dinner?

My gawd, back in the day we would work 24 hours and be thankful for a dry slice of bread and a bit of water to be consumed on a bathroom break.

That's ok tho, it just means the reno will take little longer;)

Good luck with the project. Can't wait to see the finished project.
