Ceiling done

Yesterday my Dad helped me drywall the ceiling. We finished it, and got one wall board up. I had thought of putting 12' sheets on the ceiling to avoid butt joints, but I decided I'd rather spend a little extra time mudding and sanding than struggle with 12 footers. I'm glad I did, because we had a hard enough time with the 8 footers.

Lots of wires

I've added 9 new circuits in the kitchen: one for each outlet, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, oven and one for the lights.

Some Pink Stuff

Last window

Here it is at last. It looks a bit small in the picture, but actually lets in a lot of light and affords a nice view of the back yard. I've started insulating already.

windows!

Today we had three new windows put in. The one on the right has been made smaller to allow for the fridge to the left and a counter below.

The blank wall below will have a new window in it tomorrow. You can just make out two small holes the workmen drilled in the siding to locate the position of the new opening.

The other big news is that all the wiring is finished, exept the plugs for the dishwasher and disposal, which I will install after I tear out the old base cabinets and counter top. I plan on insulating and drywalling the rest of the room before I do that so we can postpone tearing out the sink until absolutely necessary.
