Day Three

I didn't have too much time to work on Day three. I did get some things done. Whatever I'm stirring up is making my head blow up like a balloon. Thank goodness for Benadryl (or the generic version thereof).

I got the rest of the drywall put up. I moved the furniture around to give access to the walls for painting. I removed all the other things on the wall and put joint compound on all the holes. I also put up the tape and mud on the drywall on the half-wall. Keep in mind, this is my first try. I'm sure those who are good at it will point and laugh at my pictures, but we'll see how it looks. It didn't dry today (maybe because it's 1/2-inch thick), but I plan to sand it and put on another coat tomorrow.

I also set the shelves in place for the hidden library. I want to thank my brother who gave me a nail gun and air compressor a few years ago -- otherwise that would have taken days. That's a lot of shelves! The shelves aren't nailed in yet because I'm planning on painting the inside and the shelves before I fix them in place permanently.

So today wasn't bad. Tomorrow the guy comes to measure for the carpet. Hopefully some painting will happen tomorrow, too.
