Loading ...It’s been a long time coming with the next step in our house building but this weekend we
finally tackled drywall! We got most of the second floor finished with the help of my Dad and friend Phil who brought along his drywall gun. It sure made a difference and was much easier to use than my cordless drill/driver.
The drywall going up is one of those magical stages in construction that totally changes the character of a house. Rooms get closed off and start to feel like the spaces they will become. The house gets easier to envision with life and people inside it and you feel a lot closer to being done finally!
We should be able to finish most of the drywall evenings this week except for a few areas where the electrician didn’t put boxes in yet.
Phil and I put up the first sheet, Laine decided to focus on our butts instead of the drywall…

Dad and I check the pocket door framing for rigidity…
