A few days with hubby

Monday after work:  The part behind the plastic was a slanted ceiling. See the line of sheetrock? That's where the ceiling sloped down to. Monday evening it no longer did.

Who doesn't keep their ironing board set up all the time?

This room is so incredibly dark. The window in it faces the carport. That carport is now completely closed it. It may not always be, but for now it is. I'm afraid I've named this room the Dungeon. If I open the blinds (to the right of this picture), the skylight lets in light. That would be it folks. Not very conducive to joyful anything.

A little later Monday: Off to Home Depot. Ought to just rename the store "Home Away from Home".

Back home from our shopping expedition and guess who's still going strong? Well, strong might be a little lie. Somewhere in this evening, he has work to do that doesn't cost money but hopefully earns some. And ... he's dining.

Tuesday: The window is framed and in place. Some kind of mud found in a bag and mixed in a bucket looks so mighty fine hey?

Is there such a thing as wire confetti? He has found a few things. Hot (HOT!) wires sitting inside walls. Not attached to anything but power. Just sort of hanging out and waiting to light something on fire.

This is where we start reading wire. Did you know you can read wire? Seriously. It says things. Not anywhere close to a fantastic Charles Martin novel, but readable. 

Thursday: Several coats of mud and paint have dried. I think in not too many minutes, I am going to stop taking a second glance when I walk by. Eventually this window will get the same darker popout around it as the door has. Eventually. We will have several popouts to redo ... may as well do them all at once. So .... put that one way down the list somewhere.

This week we both worked at our regular jobs. We had other things we also needed to do ... and then there is the frantic rush to get this done. We have new ducting for our HVAC system going into place in only a few days. There is much to be done before that starts.

Friday evening we stayed home and he worked.  The framing of the ceiling was completed, after which we sat around a bonfire with a friend and drank coffee.

See all those wires very neatly tucked up there? They make sense. They go where they are suppose to go, they are safe and this piece of wiring business is done.

Saturday: I worked in the morning at the paying job and Jari worked at home on the house. He moved things around in the living room as that needed to be done before Wednesday as well. I don't know what he did in there all morning, but I do know that not a spec of moss ever grows on his feet. By the end of Saturday, there is sheetrock standing there ready to start hanging.

In the meantime, I wander through Pinterest here and there. Grab an idea or two for what I am going to do with that space when it is done.

Not much makes me nearly giddy, but that sunshine streaming in that window back yonder?
Yup.
Giddy.

We have 19 days from today to have a whole lot of stuff put together.
It's kind of a race around here.
