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