drywall hung
The drywall is hung and is being finished. When this is done we have a whole bunch of painting facing us - surely y'all will want to come help with that.
This is no simple drywall job. Here one of the skylight wells swallows half of the finisher. The drywall steps are: first all the boards have to be hung, then three coats of finishing compound are put over the seams and corners, then it's all sanded smooth, and then primed for painting. Quite a job, which Jean mostly did herself in the house we built 33 years ago in upstate NY. (But that's not Jean halfway into the skylight - it'd be hard to get her to stand on a ladder like that.)
The septic tank has also now been installed - pretty slick how they use a remote-controlled crane to drop it right into place (that guy standing near one corner is operating the remote control unit, which he says was originally developed by the military to load missiles into planes.) With a septic tank installed can an operable toilet be far behind?
