Putting humpty dumpty back together again

So we're due to move into our new (to us) house on August 15th. That fact makes me a little nervous considering it still looks like a construction zone.



But we've got walls now, so there's that. They are mostly bare sheetrock and mud, though. Speaking of, I have a new thing to hate. Drywall dust. And you think sand gets in everything when you go to the beach! Ha! Sanding drywall creates a thin cloud of dust that clogs up your eyes, nose, throat...you name it. I think I could bleed drywall dust right now.

And let's not forget to mention the super hot fashions it inspires...


And the cheerful attitudes...


Next up is paint. This should be interesting.

I give you guys a ton of credit - that's a hell of a lot of work to do. Plus it sucks to do it, but it sucks even more to pay someone. Which is what I'd have to do, since a work crew of one is damned slow.

Drywall. Ungh! (Good god. What is it good for? Absolutely....)

Last time I did drywall my arms ended up a couple inches longer than they were when I started from carrying those damn sheets around ... Looking good though. Hopefully you've agreed on a color ...

You know? I still check this blog once a week or so. House looks great!

I never had the patience for home improvement projects, let alone that kind of an overhaul. I imagine you've learned a shitton of stuff.
