Sheetrock Day!!!!!

Finally....we get to see some definition of walls in the house!!

The crew arrived right on schedule. A truck delivered 80 sheets of 4x12 Sheetrock and 52 boxes of taping compound. I will admit I would have liked to have done this portion as well but time just did not allow for it.

They went right to it. I was amazed how fast the whole house changed. I have posted several pictures of the walls we finally have.

With the Sheetrock finally getting hung, and the tapers soon following, we still needed to get two of the east side windows installed......and one was the huge 6x7 window.

I will be the first to admit I was a little nervous about putting this window in place due to the size and the weight. I would guess the window itself weighs no less than 250 pounds. That is bad enough but then it also has to set up about 16 feet off of the ground.

We had to do a little more rough framing for the opening, and by the time that was complete it was mid afternoon. Needless to say we had to rent another lift to get it up in place. We went a little smaller this time due to the rising costs of fuel to get it over here. But knowing what I know now, I wish we had stuck with the bigger one that we have been using throughout the project.

We have no pictures of us actually installing the window due to both of being rather tied up installing it but here is the finished product.
