house: oh my aching back!!!
Published Jul 16, 2008Views: 400
For those who may be interested, let me be the first to extend a hearty GOOD JOB to those who do dry wall. This has been the biggest challenge yet, BUT I'm happy to report that it's coming along very well.
We spent the weekend hanging dry wall in the kitchen and bonus room. I sat back, watching and learning. So yesterday, I jumped in and began working on the linen closet, another small closet and the walk-in closet for my daughter's bedroom. I think I did pretty good. I learned about the bevelled edge (never knew that before) and butt joints. I also learned that tape and mud can correct a LOT of glitches - not that I had many.
I will say it was fun learning and I'm glad to have another skill that I'm not afraid to tackle under my belt. But the bottoms of my feet today are killing me. I'm SO sore.
We brought our kitchen cabinets out of the storage building. Our friend will begin working on those today. YAY!!!! Things are really beginning to take shape. I may have to take some time to watch what he does with the cabinets. I certainly don't have plans to get into cabinet-making, but I'm kind of enjoying the new-found ability to pick up a tape measure and measure something, pull out the power tools and just build. That is what my husband said was the biggest change since we began this project - that I'm not afraid to jump right in there and try.
Anyway, that's what's been happening on this side. More learning, I'm exhausted and I ache like I've never ached before. But things are beginning to take shape inside finally.

I also have a picture of my son sitting on his little John Deere tractor watching his dad dig the basement. It is the most awesome picture. What memories! We have been in our house now for almost nine years.
