Thursday I made the trip in the rain (it was rain, but most people from this part of NC called it wintry mix and were realllllly freaked out) to go get the 1/2 drywall for our upstairs remodel. I have a good friend in the drywall supply business and he was nice enought to hook me up at cost! So yeah I drove 150 miles for drywall supplies.
So there we were this morning wondering how and what we were going to do. Our first plan was to install 1/2 drywall over the existing. WHY? Because the ancient people once loved wallpaper and thought that it might be a great idea to install millions and millions of layers of it. We were all set to do it and then I just started pulling down the old sheetrock. All of it from the ceiling, and all of the old insulation that was above it. And why? Well once i pulled down a small piece we realized that it would be much easier to install our new stuff if we got down to the wood. So we did. And we made 5 trips to the dump in one day ( Thats 125 miles if you are keeping track)
So what are we into tomorrow? Well ADAM is coming over to install the can lights, and run all of the new electric for the bathroom and bedroom. Hopefully he gets it kicking early and we get to hang the drywall on the ceiling. Why am I hoping to hang drywall? Someone help me!
