Drywall in the kitchen

Sorry it took me so long to get this update posted. It's been a busy week. Anyway, we returned home from a long weekend last Tuesday. Our time was spent finishing the insulation, putting up the vapor barrier, and hanging sheet rock in the kitchen area. We got to try out our new sheet rock lift. Let me tell you, it was a lifesaver. Without that, I have no idea how we would have put up the 70 pound, 4' by 8' sheets of drywall on the ceiling. Hanging the sheet rock went slower then I hoped for. Considering the spacing of the roof trusses is not exactly 24" on center, I guess I can't complain. It could have been worse. Using the lift definitely takes more time, but in our case it's our only option.

That's all for now. Enjoy the pics.

Summer will arrive one of these days, right?

We arrived home today from another long weekend up north. The weather sucked. Highs were in the 60's and lows in the 40's and it rained most of the time. On the flip side, due to the poor weather we did get a bunch more of the ceiling insulated and a bunch of other small jobs that I've been putting off. The main living space (I think I called it the "great room" in a previous post) is almost ready for sheet rock. My parents came up and Dad helped me with many of the small jobs. I did not add new photos because you can only show so much insulation. That's all for now. Due to work and some other obligations, we won't be heading back for a few weeks. Hopefully we will be hanging some sheet rock on that trip.
