Happy Father's Day, Jake



The guys who put up the sheetrock (who are different from the guys that mud and tape the sheetrock) are here, and we want them to put up new sheetrock in the middle bedroom (Molly's bedroom). The contractors wanted about $1000 to demo the room, plus more money to add one new receptacle and do the insulation. Being cheap, Jake and I spent the entire weekend, including Father's Day, taking out all the plaster and lathe on the walls and ceiling, rewiring the entire room, including a new box for ceiling light and 4 new ceiling cans (since it is so dark in there) and putting in insulation. It was a long weekend, but Molly's room is going to be awesome now, with all new wiring and new sheetrock. In the top picture you can see the walls we demoed, including the closet, which will eventually be part of the bathroom. In the bottom picture you can see one of the new can lights we put in. We finished just in time -- the sheetrock guys started the ceiling today.
