Dry wall slow going....

Dry wall slow going....

November 22th --  When the weather turns cold the work slows down, even though just about all of the work for the house now is taking place inside.  I also think that the drywall people underestimated just how much work this drywall would entail.  They are making progress, but so far just two guys have been here for the last four days.  The drywall screw inspection was scheduled for yesterday, and that was postponed.  Now it has been rescheduled for Monday, but unless a whole lot of work is done this weekend, my guess is that it will be rescheduled again.


Nevertheless, there continues to be progress, as shown in some of these "before" and "after" photos.

The drywall guys have finally started upstairs, and they made good progress......

Here is the soaker tub in the master bathroom with the grey drywall, which has another level of water protection...

When I got home late on Friday the drywall guys were packing up and they told me they would return at 7:00am Saturday.  Just before they left, a big delivery truck pulled into the alley behind the house and began unloading stacks and stacks of oak hardwood flooring that will be installed early next week.

UPDATE:  I have to correct a prior post where I wrote about the "brackets" that were installed on the over-sized soffits on the rear of the house (shown below).  I have been told that this architectural feature is called a CORBEL which is a "...structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, a type of bracket..." (wikipedia).
