My Favorite Wall

Finally...we got to work on the Dining Room/Stairway wall! (I was getting so sick of seeing those studs with nothing on them, lol)  This is one of my favorite things so far.  Oh..and the plan is to paint this one too  :)

 So...what do you think?  I think I LOVE it!

Do you see anything in this picture?  I SEE SPRINKLES :)

This is the FIRST time we've seen anything that even resembles rain in the last few months!  It's been soooo HOT and soooo DRY this summer.  Even I am praying for rain..and I am NOT a fan of rain!

Not a lot of waste so far...I'm doing pretty good!

My work station :)

DONE!

Well...at least with the part that's above floor level.

Kade still has to pull some wiring in the basement before we can finish down the stairs.

Moving Right Along

Ok...just so you know...I AM working on this project....it just so happens that there's nobody there to take a picture of ME working :)  Not sure what Dad would do if I handed him my phone and said "here, take a picture" lol.  I'm doing all of the cutting and some of the measuring (when Dad's not paying attention, lol)  We made some pretty good progress again...got one wall done yesterday after I worked on signs...then got the other two done today.  Just need to cut pieces to finish the bottom (which will all be behind the trim)

I think Dad really likes to use the nail gun  :)

Did I mention it was HOT again, lol.  106 Outside...and it's amazing how hot 82 feels with no air circulation!

There it is...all finished up

Well...not entirely finished...I still have to prime it and paint it

I know that some people HATE that idea...but trust me...it's going to look good!

Oh...still have to get our french doors for here!

Sunroom Time!

Oh, I've so been waiting for this part!  I HATED the wood paneling in the sunroom :)  Dad removed the wood paneling last night while we went to Lowes & Home Depot...only to find out that it had drywall underneath it...and it was NOT a good drywall job, lol.  Sooo...had to tear that out too.  We got it all cleaned up though and Dad and I got started on the tongue & groove.  I am soooo excited about this room!  Since we had it all opened up we decided to go ahead and replace the insulation...we used the Roxul again...man I just love that stuff...so nice!  Then we put a vapor barrier up since it is technically an exterior wall.

All ready to go....let's do this!!

 

1st Wall done!  (well...almost)  Still need to do the bottom row...but those are going to have to be trimmed.  I got started and then Dad just couldn't stay away...I think he really wanted to get in on a relatively quick project, well...maybe we should just call it one that you can actually see progress on :)
