Day 36

Tired...very tired!

We received our rough frame inspection and drywall screw inspection --- yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! We're all good to go with muddin', tapin', sandin', texturin', and paintin'.

We're on the downhill slide now....just gotta get the finishes wrapped up. We're planning on getting most of the tile in the bathroom done this weekend. Big weekend for DIY too.

Last night we went to the ballpark to watch the fireworks. Got home around 10:30pm. I went upstairs to sand and mud some more. Worked till past 2am. Nate offered to help, but I felt pretty guilty about working him so much these past few weeks so I refused to let him help so late into the night. Anyone who knows me well knows that I can work (very effectively) well into the morning hours and still function fine the next day. But I'm still tired!

We're trying to wrap up the mudding in the bathroom so we can paint the walls and get the tile up for this weekend. After that, we're just going to coast along and mud and paint at a normal pace for the hallway, closet, and bedroom areas.

That's it for now. Big weekend ahead of us. And the tub arrives tomorrow -- yeah!

From here, we need to add our finishes, fire up the electrical and then call for our final inspections and move in. About 2 1/2 weeks is what I'm projecting.

Ciao!
