Just a bit more to do (backing) before the soundproofing and drywall is installed. This is a bedroom wall adjoining the living room.

more electrical, drywall, painting, microwaves
So today’s activities include drywalling. In order to do that, I had to reroute some of the wires in the breaker panel so the drywall would fit. Well, if I’m doing that, I might as well label on my circuit numbers.
Once all that is done, I can finally hang my upper cabinets. However, that means I have to paint first.
Then I can finally see if my microwave fits.
A tenant gave back a microwave oven a couple of days ago. Apparently no one wants them!
today’s tasks: vents, wiring, glue
Today’s tasks are installing roof gable vents, running wiring for the new electric water heater and three outside receptacles, and putting down glue for the kitchen, hall, closets, and bathroom flooring. I only arrived here at 12 noon, so we’ll see how far I can get. It’s not 35 degrees outside today, so I won’t cook in the attic.
back in the back
We’re back in the back building again. It’s being used as storage at the moment, but I’ll be starting to lay the pro board down, and hopefully things will start to take shape soon.

wooden trim, door frames
Floyd and I worked hard yesterday and finally got rid of the remaining green and cream paint in the living room doorways. Next: stain, polyurethane, … what else?
wooden wall planks
And now, for my next trick, I must turn this…
into this…
to finish this.
Wish me luck.
Well, the first cut isn’t bad
The tongue and groove still has to be made. Only 5 3/4 more 2x6s to go.
wainscoting trim
Now that these are stained and urethaned, back they go.
Now that that’s done, there’s paint to strip, window frames to stain, stairs to sand, and walls to mud.
painting continues
The painting continues from yesterday.
I wonder if Mrs M Parfitt has paid her balance yet.
to paint or not to paint
What do you think? (This is the living room, BTW.)
It seems a no-brainer.
new oak panels gained, stained, & urethaned
Should I give up rhyming?
Floyd and I looked at the drywall in the sun room yesterday. It was damaged at the top and just didn’t match the rest of the room. What’s more, it was yellow! “Just pull it off then,” Floyd said. So we did. I got four new panels the same as yesterday’s. All the painted paneling and drywall will return to oak paneling. I spent yesterday staining them, and today they are polyurethaned. (Yes, I’m aware that polyurethane is not a verb.)
