One More Task Completed

Doug and I finished taping and bedding the whole room today. Now all Doug has to do is sand and we will put the finishing coat of joint compound, then sand, put a coat of kilz and lastly a coat of paint. We are finishing the ceiling first, so we can get the electricity hooked up.

It is like a dream-finishing something.

Still Playing in the Joint Compound

We got up very early and did more taping. Should be finished with the first app. next week. End coat of compound should be done in two weeks. Then primer week, then paint week. Then the electrical install. Then take all the tools and stuff from in the house out to the workroom. We are probably about 6 weeks behind. More like 2 months behind.

Good Day!!

Today we taped and bedded the workroom. Doug is getting really good at the task. I am doing the area where the ceiling meets the wall. On Thursday we are at it again. I figure one more day we will have the first coat of tap/bed done. Doug will sand. We will all bed again-Doug will sand again-then we will paint. Our contractor is coming Monday to finish the odds and ends and pick up the things that need to be returned to McCoys Lumber.

After all that is done, we will hook up the electric-then we can fill the room up-YEA!

Will post pictures when we start painting.
