Thank goodness Sherwin-Williams had a 30% off sale this week. It sure it alot easier to paint when you don't have to worry about edges. Rolling...Rolling...Rolling

Finishing the Drywall
[caption id="attachment_69" align="alignleft" width="300"] Finishing the Drywall[/caption] The drywall is all mudded and ready for finish sanding. It looks like we will be painting on Tuesday night. Then on to the ceiling! You might ask why the drywall is blue (lilac to Wendy) In situations such as basements you use the blue board because it has special inhibitors for moisture and mold.
Burn, baby, Burn
[caption id="attachment_68" align="alignleft" width="300"] Burn, baby, Burn[/caption] This is what happens to old 2X4's and scrap lumber at the Keys Household. Our waste company will not take wood that has nails in it. This is the easiest way to remove them. Especially because Dad seemed to have an endless supply of nails in each and every board.
Walls
[caption id="attachment_67" align="alignleft" width="300"] Walls[/caption] The walls are going up and the project is taking shape. Amazing what some insulation and wallboard can do to the temperature of a room. Toasty! We are also adding two new heating duct registers to the room to spread the heat out more evenly. No more, "it's too cold to go downstairs."
The Bagster
[caption id="attachment_66" align="alignleft" width="300"] The Bagster[/caption] This is a picture of the old walls and ceiling of the basement going out in a bagster. www.thebagster.com The bag costs $29.99 and the pickup from Waste Management was $119.00. An excellent way of disposing your remodel debris without having to rent a dumpster. The bag holds 3 cubit yards and up to 3300 lbs.
