So close

The drywall is installed. We painted the primer last Friday night. It was exhausting and neck aching work. So we have decide to hire a painter to do the actual finish painting. Try as we might there are some things we can do and some we can't. We would rather put our time and effort into cabinets, trim and finish work.

We are hosting a Molly "going away" party on Sat. Oct. 1st. She leaves for AmeriCorps on Thurs the 6th. She'll be away until August 1012. Our guests will get to see how far we've come on the remodel and eat all of Molly's favorite foods. Sean turns 25 (quarter century) on Oct. 7th. I must of had him when I was 12, right?

The Next steps

The wiring is all finished. New back porch lights installed. Spray foam insulation for the ceiling is scheduled for Wed morning. Bats of insulation delivered on Thurs for Bill and I to install ourselves over the weekend - then the drywall. We can do the walls ourselves. Changing our mind on the ceiling. No drywall - but fir bead board slats that we can install ourselves. The more we can do and not sub out the more we save. Thank god I have a husband who takes pride in DIY, researches all the materials, and can install almost everything himself.
