About Me

I wanted to thank everyone who was interested in my house construction. Despite how much I hate blogs this would be the easiest way for me to share the progress. No talk about me standing in line at Target or other stuff no one cares about. Just construction, Good and bad.

Finishing the stairs

Add three more Home Depot visits to the total making that 36. One today and two during the week.

Today Filipe started to tape, mud and skim the drywall. He has two more days to get it paint ready.

While this was going on I started to work on the dryer exhaust vent. It started to get complicated and quickly became a pain in the ass. I was not sure what to do so I gave up on that for the day. I decided to start finishing the stairs. It came together real nicely and I'm just about done with all the hardwood. I still need to stain it, but that will happen when all the messy stuff is over.


Thanks Atilla for the nail gun!


Lauren came over to check things out. I told her not to touch the walls... That is her fingerprint in the wet drywall.




Don't tell Lauren this is a framing square and not a sword.

All the hardwood is on.




Lauren shot a few videos too!

  1. I would just like to point out that you said, "do not touch the stair wall b/c it is still wet..." you did not say ALL the drywall was still wet. I was concerned that you had shottie workmanship when I saw all the bubbles in a "not-so-smooth" section.
