Week 14

The school year is in full swing and we can tell by where our focus is. I saved the week 12 post but forgot to publish it. We didn't even create a week 13 post. I took a couple photos of the fireplace but other than that we have been busy getting ready for students.

I have decided that unless I dedicate some time each Saturday to document the construction, time will quickly pass by and we will lose the opportunity to record this experience.

Earlier in the week Cesar and his team installed the insulation in the walls and ceiling. After that, the drywall was delivered. Drywall sheeting quickly appeared in the bedroom and the kitchen. The ceilings were done as well as the walls. The drywall helps to define the shape of the room and it actually makes the space feel larger. 

They are also working on the coving in the kitchen. If you look closely, you can see the score marks on the back of the drywall. They use the score marks to help bend the drywall and create the final smooth shape that will match the living room. 

We are excited about next week because we believe all of the drywall should be in and we can better visualize the overall space.
