Sheet Rocking progress


Chuck and his team have been working on the sheetrocking since the second week in September. All the boards are in place and taped. The first round of mudding is done. We are waiting for that to dry. We hope that the mudding and priming will be done in the next two weeks.





















Ken worked on installing the pocket door frames.

Rain gutters in place



The rain gutters were installed last week and the finishing touches put on today. We had our first real rain in months last night, so the timing was perfect.

Getting Ready for Sheetrock

We spent the Labor Day holiday getting the new Manor ready for the sheetrock installation which starts tomorrow. I swept out all the wood shavings and loose insulation and Ken finished up the wiring and other details. The sheetrock arrived last week. It was quite interesting watching them unload it.

Piles of sheetrock waiting to be installed. Some in each room. They are 12 foot lengths.
