We hello again!

With the framing 99% done there wasn't much left of the lumber pile.

It was time to start putting up the drywall.

We started right here on the Long Wall.

The Long Wall went pretty quickly as there weren't a lot of cuts required.

I cut, carried and placed while Sue set the first screws and completed the middle and lower halves.

We also picked up all the goodies the boy's purchased along with the flooring and ceiling tiles.  We've got lighting fixtures, fans, fausets, vanity, assorted accessories and a shelf to put them on.

Here's Sue closing up the furnace room.

I took two pix, so here is the other one.

Sue got pretty good at hitting the studs by the time we finished.

I finished up the wiring in the pub area so we closed that up too.

You can see a bunch of insulation in the tub.  The boy's decided to insulate the ceiling so we were picking that up too.  We picked up a pallet of it (12 or 18 rolls) whenever they had it in stock - we ordered 53 rolls altogether.  As I worked on the wiring and plumbing, Sue put the insulation up in the ceiling.

The walls are all up - now it's on to the soffit and beams.

Our wallboard was getting pretty low.  We would have only needed to buy a few more, but Sue talked the boys into putting it up in the garage too - where we had all the new insulation hanging out.

So here we are unloading twenty more sheets of drywall.

Jay's F150 handled it just fine, in fact it didn't even know it was there.

My Sport Trac, on the other hand, couldn't handle all 48 boxes of flooring at the same time, so it took us two trips.

900SF of flooring makes an impressive pile sitting all in one place.

It took another trip to get all the ceiling tiles.

Here's a look at a pallets worth of insulation in the bed of by truck.

And here's a shot of the driveway around the back of the house - for those of you who haven't been there. There is not much back yard. The other side of that fence is a steep drop off to the main road on the other side of the trees.  And that deck is none too sturdy and may end up on a future to-do list.

Some of Sue's handy-work putting up insulation in the ceiling.

Looking good.

Before she got to the pub area, I ran the plumbing for the new bath and pub sinks.  You can see the four copper pipes running off to the new pub/bath wall.

We didn't dig up the floor to relocate the drain.  I just ran it around the corner - which will be hidden by the vanity anyway.

Here's a full shot of the properly vented drain system.  The HD guy had led me astray, but I found out better from the internet.

I also went with two vent stacks. Both stacks were capped off with mechanical vents.  Not the best, as anything mechanical can fail, but the alternative was opening up walls upstairs to run the vent up to the roof.  This system will work out fine.

Too bad we had to cover up all my fine work!

A soffit in the bath hides the furnace flue.

The soffit in the main room got covered too.

And that's NOT dust on my lens.  I couldn't figure out what it was, but after some experimentation I did.  What you're seeing is the flash bouncing off dust in the air.

All the wallboard is up in the living space.

We got it up on the new walls in the garage area too.
