Drywall Accomplished.

[mapsedge]

All the drywall is hung, and it's down to taping and mudding. There are several butt joints that I will struggle with, but by and large the rest of it should be straightforward. The goal in applying the joint compound is not to make it easy to sand, but to make it so that sanding is not needed. I use up - some would say waste - a lot of mud, but it does make the end result less dusty.

I'm very tired. I've gotten to bed no earlier than 11:00 for the last couple of weeks, closer to midnight on few nights - very late by my standards - and that coupled with the amount of physical work I'm doing during the day has worn on me. I'm looking forward to a somewhat earlier night tonight.

We are childless. Michelle's parents, back from a trip to Tennessee, are keeping the kids overnight. We took advantage of their absence to go out for dinner (a disappointment, of course. Will we never learn?) and pick up some desserts we'd have to skip were Katie at home.

Looks like you're getting a lot done. I need an early night too.
