In other news, the exterior of the house has been completed, the affected bedroom has been sheetrocked, and I do believe we get a whole weekend off without having to get up in time for the workmen to arrive, and without having to have any workmen here doing anything! They've been great, but boy do you need a break from it.
The wall guy will be back at least a few times to keep building up and sanding the "mud" (or spackle or whatever it should be called), which is what happens before the walls can be painted. That's just a few minutes visit each time, then at some point they paint the walls and the carpet people will lay the carpet. (No smirking, please, this is a nice family site.)
Oh yeah. The gutter people still need to come out and replace their stuff. So, really, it never ends. Right?
