Renovation Update v.04.06.06



We were, once again, lucky to get some help from Grammy and Papa today. Jason took two days off from work to put some time into the renovation. Today we were able to tape and mud all of the seams in the sheetrock. We also did a little more demolition, removing a poorly-engineered built-in bookshelf that a former owner had inserted into what used to be a doorway. We plan on sheetrocking over the doorway but leaving a cased opening at the top. Sort of like it was, minus the built-in.

Tomorrow we'll get a second round of mud up on the drywall that's already up, and frame and sheetrock the door opening.

Avery is a little under the weather. We have to give him nebulizer treatments to help out some pretty bad congestion in his chest. (Read: hold him down while holding a mask over his face while he screams and thrashes for ten minutes.) He seems to feel much better after the treatment though, and despite his cold, he's in good spirits, as usual.

Can only imagine how UNHAPPY little A is with those treatments, how scary for a little guy to have to be held down... And hard for you guys, 'cause you know it's for his own good in the long run but still...
Demo/Reno looking VERY nice :)
