Day Thirty Six to Forty: Closing up the walls.

As we go into Week 6 on the project (with time off for travel, of course), we finally see some visual changes on the constructive side in the kitchen. All the drywall has been hung (except a couple small pieces in the pantry). See for yourself.

Always ones to look at innovative building materials, note the aluminium foil to the left of the stove in the photo above. No, it isn't permanent... just there to protect the wall until we get the stainless steel to cover that part.

Next steps will be to finish up the pantry drywall, then it's going to be a "mudfest" with applying joint compound over the next few days. I will be greatly relieved once that's done, as it will be the messiest part of the project and by far the least enjoyable.

Next set of photos should show some taped seams, at least I hope they do.
