Tom and I attacked the house again this weekend. Friday night Tom scrubbed down the ceiling of the kitchen. (Which is such a disgusting job, because the gooey adhesive drips all down your arms- and just all over you in general. And then you just scrub and wipe and scrub and wipe- all above your head.) I set to work patching up all of the holes with joint compound, and properly sanding and leveling the areas that had not been finished. Both Tom and I were surprised by the great results. It looks like finishing the drywall isn’t going to be as difficult as we first thought.

Saturday morning I worked outside and Tom  helped our neighbor move her massive TV from the basement to her main floor living room (Which took him an hour and a half) and then took the truck to pick up several pieces of furniture she had bought from a nearby store. Then we watched conference. By the second conference Tom had figured out how to send it to our speakers in the kitchen. So we were able to listen and finish cleaning the walls and ceiling in the kitchen. Tom also cut drywall for the last needy hole in the hallway. I had to take a picture- he did such an impressive job.

Tom and I are ecstatic. The house is really coming together. We just need one more sand over and one more layer of joint compound in the walls of the kitchen. Then we need to apply the joint compound to the ceiling in the kitchen. And then we can paint!
