FINISH ONE; START ANOTHER



SEPTEMBER 6, 2010

Having finally finished the sanding and first coat of finish on the tongue and groove ceiling boards, I immediately started the second coat. Since we had to change our finish, this meant another light sanding before the second coat of finish could be applied.

By last Tuesday Frank had finished hanging the dry wall. Here he is hanging the last piece. He immediately started the process of taping and mudding the dry wall.





By Saturday Vangie finished the second coat on the tongue and groove. After a quick clean up, she started sanding the dry wall that was ready to do--the kitchen and bathroom.

On Saturday a friend of Tonya's came to help Frank. She just likes doing that type of thing. Frank greatly appreciated this! She worked in the study and the laundry room since our bedroom is full of tongue and groove.



















Frank put the third and final coat of "mud" on the rest of the great room walls and the stairwell. He also made a table for sawing the tongue and groove.


















Monday morning we left for Lancaster County to visit Frank's Dad. His 94TH birthday was on the 7TH. We had a family get together in his honor and for Frank's sister Edna's 70Th birthday coming soon. Since we came back on the 8TH, that will make two short weeks of work already this month.
