Progress made.....

We made a little bit of progress today. After we spent about 2 hours talking with Dave (bathroom cabinet maker) we got back to the crib to frame out the the rest of the bedroom wall. Along with framing it out, came hanging the door. The door came from one of the old bedroom walls that we took down to open things up. doors aren't so easy, but they aren't hard....they just require some thought.

After the wall we finished up framing the duct work out. When we had the AC put in back in what...march we ran into an issue with getting the duct up to the other rooms. It pops out of one wall and shoots up into the attic. That "shoot-out" is what we had to frame in so that we can hide it with some drywall, paint, and old VW bug...something other than ductwork.

And finally, sandy tried her hand at rolling on watered-down joint compoun to the walls. WHY? well...here goes. After you remove 100 layers of wall paper off of 1940's drywall the paper comes off with it. SO.....shelac. Cadillac, scooby snak, shalac! We applied one coat of shelac to the walls after the wallpaper came down so that we could apply the skimcoat. Not so sure if it worked or not, but it's worth a shot right?
