Day 37 -- The rest of the ceiling comes down


Please forgive me for being so neglectful!! I have been quit lazy in my fixer-uping.  Anyways, today we worked on the master bedroom some more; we are planning on getting it done next weekend.  The plan is, over the week, the walls finish going up and the outside closet wall will get started.  Then next Saturday the ceiling fan goes up, super plush carpet goes in, and closet gets finished.

Today, I got out of work about 12:15-ish then met my parents at Home Depot in Hooksett, NH.  In case you don’t know this, sheet rock comes in a package of two.  The plan was to buy two packages of ¾ inch and two packages of ½ inch, the sign above each stated $8.98.  What they are not telling you is that it is actually $17.96 per package… dude… I was so f*cking pissed!!  Apparently it is $8.98 per sheet.  With the help of my momma (thanks momma) we bought what we needed.  What I didn’t know was that my dad bought a light for the porch, something Joey and I was going to buy but never gotten a chance to (thanks daddy). 

We get home and my dad got to work on the porch light.  Amy, mom, and I got to work taking the rest of the old ceiling out.  We still have some at the edges to take care of but the majority is done. 

My dad built this structure to help hold up the sheetrock while it gets screwed into the ceiling. 

 









While all this was going on, Joey did all the dishes, laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and cleaned the cat puke off the floor… all the stuff I hate doing!!

We then sat outside and grilled and had a good time just chillin’.

Doesn't sound think much, but we did so much today!!  I can’t wait for my beautiful bedroom to be done. 

P.S.  I just want to draw your attention to this

This is a circular saw plugged into an extension cord.  My father is the person who used it and I found this about 15 minutes after my parents and Amy left.  If this was me, I’d be in so much trouble!!
