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!

    I stooped by yesterday and it looks great. Your work has inspired us to change teh lighting upstairs to match what is going in on the first floor. Handling 12 X 4 sheets of sheet rock is not easy however it does eliminate that one seam. Nice work and glad you are learning as you go !

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 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 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 Kevin doing the morning insulation.  Adam getting the first piece square.  Kevin screwing in a piece. View at the end of the day.
