Finished Sheetrock

This is a little redundant of the last post about hanging sheetrock.  But if you appreciate sheetrock after it's been mudded and sanded, then you'll enjoy these pictures we took after we came back in town from Spring Break.  It's was a lovely feeling to see this done.  Since then Andrew has been priming all the walls & ceilings.  Last week, our exterior painter spent a rainy day indoors spraying the ceilings and closets with the usual white paint.

Hanging Sheetrock

This is where a total gut job of a renovation turns into a real home, at least in our opinion. I can always visualize the layout of a home by seeing its frame or on paper. but when the sheetrock is hung, it really comes to life! Right before we traveled for Spring Break, we popped in to take these pictures of all the rooms with their newly hung sheetrock.

Rough In Inspections Passed

These little cards make us very happy!  We were amazed how quickly the inspectors came through after the electric, plumbing, and HVAC rough in was complete. Our contractor was really on top of scheduling things to happen back to back.  I remember on our previous projects having to wait around for inspections.  This is back in early March.  Right after this the insulation went in...and then you know what's next...sheetrock!

Catch Up Time

My apologies for taking the month of March and now half of April off from blogging.  I've been overwhelmed with mommy projects at home and couldn't find the time to catch everyone up on the Vance project.  Don't worry...we still took pictures along the way so you can see what you missed.  And don't think for a second that work ceased while I was away...in fact, Ronnie's crew is finished.  Yes, FINISHED!  The sheetrock is hung, mudded, and sanded which marks the end of our contract.
