House Week 27: What i am Thankful For

Last week contained an American Holiday called Thanksgiving, maybe you have heard of it?  Well while most people were getting to lounge around on their day off we were hard at work on the siding, again.  I am beginning to wonder if it will ever be finished.  I guess it has to end eventually, all things do, but right now it sure doesn’t feel like it.  We did make some great progress on the back of the house finishing up the side walls towards the back and getting a good start on the back bedroom walls with the French Doors which felt good.

I am also very thankful for nearly finished Drywall.  Apparently with the cold spell that we are having here in the Bay the mud for the drywall just wasn’t drying.  Everyday we would show up at the house and the windows would be full of dew inside like some one had taken the steamiest shower ever right next to them…and that’s just weird in the laundry room.  After days of opening all things possible we were finally able to get enough air flow through for the drywall to fully set.  As we went through the house for the final walkthrough we only found a couple of spots that were not straight and the guys will (hopefully) be coming back to finish those next week.  It’s amazing how much difference the walls make.  It’s really starting to come together!
