Home Construction

Well I was able to get the plastering and sanding work done before the birth of the new baby, just BARELY!   I took down the plastic hanging from the ceiling used to keep the dust contained to the "construction zone" and out of the room and the rest of the house. So we scrubbed and scrubbed the room clean that sunday.  We went to bed exhausted but with a clean and semi assembled bedroom. 

As luck would have it the wifes water broke at 2:30am and we quickly got our stuff around and off to the hospital.  Our Daughter was born at 4:36am!  So finishing up that project is on a little holding pattern wile the baby sleeps in our room, and wile we adjust our sleeping patterns. 

Home improvments!

  Its nonstop.  Over Christmas i started buy removing and moving the doors to the walk in closet, from the spare bedroom to the master bedroom.  The part of moving the doors was easy, but trying to reuse all the 60+yr old Cedar lining was VERY time consuming.  But i got it all done and i even started to Demo the inner walls to the bedroom.  Over the same Christmas break i was able to remove 2 layers of 3/8" Sheetrock, which equaled 15 60lb bags of trash!  It has been slow going since going back to work the first of the year.  But im slowly getting there.  I've added 4 new outlets and 2 of them are double gang, and i've also added 2 cable jacks for where a flat panel TV will eventually be mounted.  Sheetrock and plaster work is all that is left for now.   It does not seam like a lot...  But with the very LIMITED time that i get to work on it, the project takes MUCH longer than it should.  I just hope that i can get thru all the sanding and plastering before the new baby girl is due Feb 23rd!   

Wish me luck!
