Dry Wall, Tape, Mud and Cleanup

If the shutters were in, we would be too

Week Ending May 9

We had another "spurt" this week.  One day we stopped by and somebody was there finishing the insulation.  You can see the yellow at the back of the garage below, left.  It really defined the space because you could not see through the walls any more.  By the end of the next day, the dry wall was in.  You can see the mess on the floor.

You can see the before and after pictures in the master bedroom also.  There are three types of insulation in the room.   The yellow and white insulation are the same, the yellow still contains formaldehyde.   A moisture barrier covers everything up to 8 feet high.  The batting on the walls above that has a barrier attached.  You can't tell the next day because everything is covered by the sheetrock.
Cindy and Lars are inspecting the work in the middle bedroom.  Marty's computer will sit against the wall by Cindy.  It gives him a good view down the street.
The tray ceiling in the dining room is starting to take shape.  Now you can imagine what the chandelier will look like.  You can see out the formal living room from this angle.
They rough graded after they took away the trash bins.  I was a bit surprised that it happened so soon. 

We keep closing the windows now because we do not want the rain to ruin the dry wall.
