Day 16

Today was a day of research for us. We began the day by going down to the local home improvement center. While there we began to learn about the different types of sheetrock that they sell. We did this to learn more about the materials that were used and how they all differ. We opted for a lightweight board that is sag resistant when doing our ceiling. We learned this is popular fo ceilings but many people use a different wall board. We compared the differences and learned about the boards. Tomorrow, we plan to go to another project that is happening in town outside of Proctor. The ceiling on this project has not yet been put up. Due to that, we will have the opportunity to see the differences in how this job was done when compared to ours.
Time: 0:30

All the different types of sheetrock!

Day 19

Today was a good day down at the ski area. We began the day by staining the pieces that would soon cover the beam. After that we began putting them up this took time to get them perfect. However, soon we were on to trim we got up the first row and soon realized we were short pieces. We went to the lumber yard to get more. We stained and applied the first coat of urethane to these boards.  They go up tomorrow. Time: 6:00 Total: 67:30 Trim up! Boards to case in beam! First board up!

Day 20

Today we showed up at the ski area to find the boards applied urethane on the day prior to be dry. This means that we were able to get an another coat on them and put up three more strips in the morning. We then went to lunch and when we got back we put up the remaining strips. This signifies our last day down at the ski area. I will miss doing this every day. Hours: 6:00 Total: 73:30 Midway! All Done!

Day 9

Today we started out by sheetrocking and got one more piece in. Then while Adam was cutting the next piece Kevin and I began scraping the mud off the first row. We finished that as the electrition showed up to cut out the first two lights in the first row. While he was doing that we began to apply the second coat of mud to the first row. After that, we broke for lunch. I was unable to make it back due to a race but Kevin and Adam got the rest of the sheets up this afternoon. Tomorrow we will begin mudding. Hours: 3:10 Total: 38:30 The mud all smoothed out! First two lights cut out!
