I am really starting to hate this project that seems to never really end.

I am slowly getting the mudding done… The vestibule is mudded and ready for primer..   The maids pantry is nearly ready, except for the part where I get the fun of fixing the old owners mud job on the ceiling.  The back hall has a long ways to go before its ready for paint and the kitchen even further.. .

Heck I need to get to the despot and pick up another sheet or tree of drywall to fill the last hole and get the other two unrelated fixes done that I wanted to. 8^P

bleh

The weather is already turning crappy..

And I have a downtime Saturday morning ( hoseing Saturday )

The good news is the bedroom window sashes..

Its been a long time but they are ready to go back in.  Stripped reglazed and tightened back up they are beautiful.

At least thats working out.

Ivan!

bleh! this will soon be done?

ok,

getting closer.. The tin for the vestibule is in and waiting for the walls to be done enough to hang it.    The back room is nearly done with the second coat.  The back hallway is also nearly second coated.  The kitchen however needs a lot of plaster to be done.  Worse and more annoying yet, it needs some plaster of paris work to fill the fat gaps between some of the wallboard.  I am pretty sure thats going to be annoying. 8^P

Still the project is getting a lot closer, I am no longer spending big piles of cash and time at home despot.   8^)

There is still a little bit of big cash spending that has to happen.  We need the kitchen doors, and two replacement windows.

And I dont want to know what I will spend on trim bits when trimming times comes.

Ivan!
