Deck and Drywall (The D Words)

This past week was consumed with drywall. It will be finished in terms of boarding today and the taping is supposed to go on today. That will leave a few more days for mud and sanding.

My garage doors will be going in either Thursday or Friday so drywall has to be completed before that.

The painter is booked for a week Monday.

The deck went in Monday. They were fast and completed it in just a few hours. One of the framers is coming back to finish off some loose ends and then it should be complete.

 They got a late start and had to bring in lights to work.

In the light of day. Still need to add a couple of boards to the end of the deck as well as the steps.

 Drywall progress. Most of the upstairs is done as well as the garage.

Catch up

I've been a little lax the past several days. Time to bring things up to date. In the interim, we've filled in the south side of the lot with backfill and the parking pad has been filled with shredded asphalt, tamped and ready for parking.

Asphalt was poured to bridge the divide between the garage apron and the alley.

Denver and I rented a two man auger and dug holes for sono tubes. now we can place the pillars that will support the roof over the entrance way as well as the deck. I filed the two sono tubes for the deck on the last semi-nice day before the snow fell and the really freezing temperatures arrived. Hallelujah.

And finally Matt started installing the dry wall. Hopefully that will finish up later this week snd then I can get the painters in.

I got word this week that the cabinets will be delivered on December 12th and installation will begin the following day. Hopefully that means flooring can begin on the 17th or so.
