Walls, doors, paint

We finally have something to show! The walls are up and taped, painted and doors hung upstairs. Still have the base trim to install and the switches and outlets to put in. Sheila still has plenty of trim and doors to paint.

Sheetrocker

We had Alfredo do our sheetrock and did a great job! If anyone needs a quote or has taping work to do, give him a call at 612-865-8196. Sheila has been busy painting, we sprayed the ceilings and she has started most of the upstairs walls. I installed the new front door on Friday. I've been a little slow in updating this and working there because we were in New Orleans last weekend and busy "Entertainment night for Blayne and mothers day weekend this weekend. I should have more video and pictures tomorrow to update the blog.

Sheet rock started

We got one bid for hanging and taping and then called "Alfredo" a guy who is a friend of a friend and who also did our friend Webster's house. By mid afternoon the next day over half the rock was hung. The only reason it wasn't all done is because I wasn't finished with my electrical work. So I went back last night and worked a few hours to get it finished so they could continue hanging and taping. Talk about fast!! Maybe by next week we will be able to paint and then doors and floors, it's starting to go fast, but still we'll be lucky to be done by the end of May.

Basement Framing

We took the whole family over to the house Sunday and had the boys use the framing nailer and concrete (GUN) nailer. Showed them how to measure, cut and nail together walls and fasten them. Blayne and Sheila worked upstairs getting the floor ready for carpet and organizing.

Out of sequence framing video

I thought I'd toss this in for something new. 1st one is the framing and second is the video of Blayne and my birthday weekend in the dells.

Finally Framing

We started framing as planned this weekend. We also went to the Wisconsin Dells for Blayne's birthday. We stayed at Chula Vista resort and had an awesome time! Great place to stay. We got home last night and started framing the upstairs walls. Came this morning did some more and ran out of nails, but we don't have to much left. It feels great to see the big stuff get done.

Last day of March

I had to do a little video to show the snow we're getting. I can't stress enough, I hope it's the last of the season!!!!
On the bright side, I think we can get these walls up in the next week?!?!
