Our River House Fixer Upper - Week 8

Our sheet rock crew completed the new walls and they look great.  Then we looked at the older walls. When we removed the wallpaper, we noticed huge cracks and chips.  We initially thought we would be able to redo these ourselves, but after looking at our new walls and how nicely they were done, we questioned whether or not our job would look as good as the new walls.  So Captain Man called the sheet rock guy and asked if they would re-do the existing walls as well.  And they agreed, but they are doing it late afternoons, after their other scheduled jobs as they are working us in.  THANK YOU sheet rockers!

They are also going to re-sheet rock the bedroom and hall room ceilings, which would have been a struggle for us, (it's heavy and I am not that strong).

The weeks are flying by...before we know it another one has passed.  Things are progressing nicely and hopefully we will be able to move in before August.  All will not be completed, but should be livable enough for us to move.   At least that is what we are hoping for.   Keeping our fingers crossed!!!


Until next time...


Enjoy!
