Definitely not DIY

I took a quick trip to the house today with my friend Kristel to check on progress. The drywall, although now completely hung, is officially a week behind schedule. The mudding and taping will be left to the experts, and should start on Monday and take a few days...famous last words. There is an art to finishing drywall that I cannot even begin to understand, let alone execute, so I'm happy to leave the job to those with a clue!

It was super fun to walk Kristel through the house and show her what has consumed all of our time (and cash) for nearly a year! I'm not sure if she liked it, but at least she pretended to, and that's really all that matters.

Everyone told me that, once the drywall went up, the house would seem alot smaller. I have to say for the record that I found the exact opposite to be true. Sorry folks, you were WRONG! There are not alot of decisions left to make about finishes, etc so now we just wait for everything to come together, and hope that it's remotely close to how we wanted it to look.

Oooo... it's like I'm famous! And I didn't like the house... I LOVED it! (Had you worried there for a sec, didn't I?!?)

And now that I know where you live you'll never get rid of me! (If you weren't worried before you should be now... mwahahaha)
