Jean measuring , cutting backing for kitchen built-in cupboard which will be coved with drywall, flush wall. I extended shelves to make cupboard interior a deep counter top work space, mixer, coffee pot, maybe micro wave, behind closed doors. We doubled up the studs and added a header to the door opening too, David and i, good team work.
These are 1x4's on the ceiling having been installed to cover paster and attach acustioc tile, which i temoved. David screwed lonnnnnng dry wall screws next to nails onto joists. Next comes dry wall.
I am learnig so much. Good discussion on preping for dry wall coverage. Have to screw in wood strips that held up accustic tile with 2 1/2" shank dry wall screws to make sure wood strips are attached really really well to joists. A lot of over head driving to acpmplish. Also other great advise to achive smooth dry wall instalation. It will be beautiful !
I usually get a late start on days at 610. today I started at 10am, David B Came at 11 and removed a tremendous amount of debris to ever growing pile in garage. thank you , thank you! David B.
Focused on flooring in kitchen and bathroom today. KE RRY came to put in beams and posts to secure foundation and Lift it. I Count my blessings because he is willing and knowledgeable to help with this tremendous task. Walking upstairs I could feel this Sturdy difference. I will include some pictures. it's amazing .it will take many months to complete the process including digging and pouring foundations for each post. KE RRY helped me move my beloved chopsaw Into 610 and I immediately began to put shelves in a deep closet to store tools and organize. Using my newly reclaimed lumber. Barb H stopped by and pulled nails from studs. She agreed to be a handy assistant to do tasks That will be so appreciated and help get things done. I plan to move in mid March, really I do. Went Home at 10:30. A Sunday well spent, happy and tired. |
