Drywall!

 Kevin called on his way home from work yesterday to see if we wanted to go to the house.  Of course we did!  We were shocked at how fast the drywall went up!  It is ready to be taped on both floors.  Some of you may remember that before Emma was born we created a bedroom for her at our wonderful but very small, one bedroom house.  It required one wall to close in a small space.  This had to be dry walled.  It was the perfect nursery and I was so grateful for the help we received but thank God that crew is not drywalling this house or we'd move in once the girls are both in college!  By the way, our master closet which seems very large to me, but our architect said is on the small size for most new homes, is larger than Em's nursery was! 
What a mess!  They will clean up today.
The kitchen.
 Emma was not impressed with the color of the drywall, except with the blue moisture resistant variety in the bathroom.  "What happened to me having a pink room?" was her main concern!   
Each one of us was covered in dust.  In the background you can see Emma trying to look at the siding.  It has all been delivered, we just need to have some nice weather so that it can be put up.  Who knows when that will be!


* The drywall inspection is scheduled for tomorrow.  This means taping and mudding can begin on Monday.  A propane heater will need to be brought in to keep the house above 50 degrees.  The joys of building a house in the middle of winter!  

*Clint, the fantastic brick layer who led the crew on our house, has come back with an estimate to resize the columns.  It seems reasonable.  We are waiting on the final amount for the flooring (they also doing the tile in the baths).  Once we have that number we'll be able to make a decision on the columns.
