Today the sheet rock installation begins. Donnie, Wallace and I spent all last weekend adding the last bit of blocking, clearing the house of ALL our property not nailed down, removing a few architectural pieces of trim that had been nailed down but would be difficult to replace, and sweeping and vacuuming. A LOT of sweeping and vacuuming. We want any mess created from this day forward to be the responsibility of the contractors to clean up and this way there is no mistaking...."Who made the mess?" In addition, we understand that sheet rock installers work with reckless abandon.
Sheetrock will be glued and screwed (as promised by the contractor). I am eager to see the progress later today.
* Note: I have printed out the text of this blog February 26, 2011 through today. I will put it in a tin along with some photos of my family and the project thus far. It will be closed up in one of the walls in our house on Hawthorne Avenue. Perhaps one day, in a hundred years or so, someone will find this 'time capsule' of our renovation adventure. It has been a fun one and I am confident it will continue to be!
