As you may have guessed from the title, today was yet another day in the basement. We’re still trying to finish all of the odds and ends that I left at the end of last fall. Luckily, this was perfectly fine with us, since it was muggy for most of the day. Then after dinner, there was a huge thunderstorm. Yeah, I’ll take the cool and dry basement, thank you.
While I was working on aligning the framing for the three doors (two to the HVAC room and 1 closet), S.Rod was measuring and cutting pieces of drywall for the soffits. Then I would stop and hang the pieces of drywall. In addition, since all of the areas have something under construction, everything is displaced— as we got to each area, we have to move all of the things out of the way.
Despite working all day on this, we still have more to do. This is why contractors have crews to do this type of crap, and while other ones take months to do it. To complicate things, we have afternoon plans tomorrow (albeit one-of-a-kind plans) , so it will only leave the morning to get things done. Hopefully, we can get an early start and bang a lot of the pieces out.
Nevertheles, this project has lingered on for too long. I’m beginning to worry that my time and effort are catching up with what I could have just spent to have someone else do it last summer. Hopefully not though. Cheers.
