It rained most of the night here at Sullivan … and it did not stop until around noon today. We were thankful that we were working inside again today. After our inspirational morning devotional from a local pastor, we once again got our ‘to do’ list from Bob. As Bob likes to say – ‘it’s like yesterday, just a little different” :-). The overall team goal is to finish the drywall and get everything cleaned up and prepped for the ‘mudder’ contractor to come in to tape and prep the walls for painting by Thursday at noon. Since we have quite a few overachievers in our group, we were focused on trying to beat that goal.
So, today was about some hard work and heavy lifting. Joe and I continued our tasks of measuring, cutting drywall, fitting it into place and holding it in position for mounting. We finished the walls of one of the smaller bedrooms, finished the walls in the master bedroom and then helped with finishing up the hallway.
Everyone made great progress in the morning, and thought that we could potentially get all the drywall up today … ahead of schedule. After a delicious lunch at a local church, the team was eager to get all the last pieces mounted. It was like a coordinated dance – pretty cool stuff!
Well, by 3PM, we had all the drywall up! Tomorrow morning we will clean up the floors, and do a final check to make sure it’s in good shape for the ‘mudder’ to start.
What a wonderful and exhausting day!
We love your daily diary. The great pictures and clear description puts us in the middle of the project. I did not know “mudder” was a special trade. The function is clearly important. In a finished painted wall you never see the seams. I will have to see that work up close. Another day of great accomplishment.
Ypu are moving right along good luck
Wow! Accomplished a lot today. Hope the weather begins to dry up for you.
