Drywall

We are ready for hanging drywall. All of the interior walls have been covered with plastic sheeting to create a vapor barrier.

After thinking it over and over we decided it was best to hire someone to hang and finish the drywall for us. I am beginning vacation this weekend so we will have a lot of time to get things done. While someone else does the hardest job we would have probably faced, we will work on siding the exterior. I had started the siding last weekend but we realized the garage opening had not been framed correctly so today I had to take down everything around the garage that we had cut and hung. We have to add a 2x4 on the left side of the garage opening and remove one on the right and cut back the base a little.

We have had several people in the neighborhood stop to see the house. A lady who lives up the street from us offered to make a trade with me on her home. Her son-in-law builds homes in the New Orleans area and she had moved up from there after Katrina. We see a lot of Florida families and other nearby states moving into the area.
