More drywall

Sigh...the block coat is way harder to get smooth than the tape coat.  Here is our wall now, all the joints except the corner joint have the block coat of joint compound on, so you can see the difference between the 2 coats.  One more coat until painting. 

Gratuitous Rogue picture.  She is sad that I am paying attention to drywall and not her.

Maybe I'll make Mitch do that last coat of compound....I think it may be time to start picking out paint colors.

working on the joints

Got some more work done on the drywall today. 

Me working on joints.  Mitch thinks I may be endangering the fetus in this position, I maintain that it was totally stable.  I love the way my walmart belly is hanging out the bottom.

The joints on the second wall have their tape coat on. 

Mitch also put some drywall up to finish the wall in the bathroom.  Now we can do some more tiling.

Drywall is up!

Ok, so we have finished getting the drywall up in the master bedroom. 

Studs and insulation:

Mitch starts to get the drywall up on the 2nd wall:

Drywall up!

I also got started mudding the joints on the first wall. 

We've got a ways to go on getting the joints finished, but at least that isn't too much physical labor so we can both do it on our days off - it doesn't have to be a two man job.  Then we need to get the other walls prepped, and then we can paint! 

Slooow progress

Ok.  So we're getting somewhere on the big bedroom.  It has some walls.  But still so much to do.  Progress is slow due to scheduling and my physical inability to heavy lift or do physical labor for more than a few hours.  I'm useless!  Anyway.

First Mitch put up some insulation.  Because our house had none.  None.  Hopefully this is going to make things quieter and cheaper to heat.

And now, drywall. 

We still need to drywall the other wall, and then the dreaded job of doing the drywall joints.  OMG I can't wait for this room to be done, but sadly it is not remodelling itself.  We have some days off together next week, so hopefully we can get the rest of the drywall up, and then I have a couple more weeks before I go down to 3 days a week at work, so I can get some seams done, clean, prime, and paint the walls.  We need somewhere to put a crib and we only have 9 weeks to get there!  How do these remodeling TV shows do it in 48 hours?
