Day 7

Today was the first day of sheetrock for us down at the ski area. When we got down there the first piece had already been cut to ensure it was straight. However, we first had to insulate the space behind the recessed lighting. After that, we began on the rest of the sheetrock. Midway through we broke for lunch but started up again soon. Then we put yet another layer urethane on the boards. Tomorrow we will continue with putting up sheetrock. We just have one piece left on the first row. Then will begin on the back row.
Time: 6:30
Total: 29:20

Day 10

When we showed up today the project was looking really good with all the lights cut out. I began by applying joint compound (mud) the second half of the ceiling while Kevin sanded. We also cleaned up the work space. Then Garry came by and told us to clean the surrounding walls to get the room ready to begin paint. We did that and then broke for lunch. After lunch, we continued to clean and prep for paint. We also cleaned the shop floor of urethane. Today was a good day. Hours: 5:30 Total: 44:00 Second half with joint compound! The first half sanded! The first half when we left!

Day 1

The moment we rolled into the ski area to begin our day I had no idea what lied ahead. The day started with removing the old lighting fixtures that were down there. However, we made quite short work of that and moved on to putting up strapping. Soon a delivery arrived that we unloaded. But we were soon back on track. At about 12 we broke for lunch. After lunch work started up again. We helped Mike (the school's electrition) rough in the electrical. Day one was a success. Hours: 5:10 Kevin Removing Wiring.  The before shot. Kevin and Adam putting up strapping.  The strapping and wiring in on one-half.

Day 2

Today when we showed up we started out by putting up strapping on the other half. After that, we cleaned up the job site and broke for lunch. For the afternoon session, we began staining wood. This wood will be used as trim once the sheetrock for the ceiling is up. The lights for the second half of the project also were being put in by the electrician. Tomorrow seems to be a day for insulation. The insulation will be the biggest part of the project and take many days.  Hours: 4:40 The project as it now stands.  The stained wood.  Kevin Nailing.
