We have been so busy trying to squeeze in every hour of work we can on the house lately so I that explains why I have been away from the blog a bit. It is getting exciting to see the walls closing in now! We had to wait a bit to be able to order some more drywall to close in the bedrooms. Since the order arrived David has been busy! I have been excited to see our bathroom take shape once we were able to get the framework done for the small toilet room inside the bathroom.
I have continued my insulation and vapor barrier work on the walls which are shared by the bathrooms and bedrooms.
As the drywall goes up, I now have a new job! David has taught me how to mud and tape drywall seams! So, he puts up each sheet and I go to work...

| Mudding. |
 |
| Taping. |
 |
| Sanding. |
 |
| Final sanding after finish mudding is dry. |
 |
| Last but not least...PAINTING! |
This is a waterproof base coat we are putting on all the walls to start out with. We will move in with just the white walls and then work room by room as we can to finish each room with its final colors and trim.
So exciting! I think I am going to love smooth, even, white walls!
I am very proud of you, looks like a professional job:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Can you tell me who you are "unknown"? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks look our house looked not too long ago! I wish we had known how to do all of that ourselves... if we had, we could have done a lot more interesting things to our walls, like American houses have. Also, Ukrainians mud over every.single.part. of the drywall and it seemed like we would never finish this part of our building project! So glad it is done now. :-)
ReplyDeleteJolene, David and I have been talking about how they do they mud the whole wall here too. I can't imagine. Even now it feels like this is such a long process. Thanks for the encouragement of saying your house looked like this not too long ago! :)
