Ceilings and Walls

     It was another week of successful work.  One of the most notable things things though was the passing of the the mechanical inspection for rough in walls.  I know it sounds far fetched and I don't really believe it myself but the proof is a bright yellow sticker on my new window (see below).  With that being said we can now finish drywalling all the interior spaces and ceilings.
     Drywalling those spaces though requires the major fixtures of the walls to be in place aka doors and windows.  So the last two dinosaur doors on the first floor ended up getting torn out and replaced with 15 lite single French doors.  Other than that materials purchased keep coming in the corrected size windows should arrive tomorrow, as wel as the toilets and hopefully the faucets.  I can say though it is a lot easier and more fun to buy the fixtures than pound nails in above ones head.  Amber could probably attest to that since she spent the greater part of her weekend putting up nailers for the ceiling drywall.  With one fell swoop she joined the club and now every person who has worked on the house in some capacity has smashed the hell out of their thumb while nailing things.  Beyond that it was a pretty mundane weekend of cutting drywall and putting it in place.
