SECOND DAY -- TUESDAY

This is the end of another very productive day. To celebrate, the team has reservations at a local restaurant for dinner.

It was a Mexican dinner where we sampled the local beverage called "Lovely Magnolia". Good, but not a favorite.

Our morning began with a look at the list of work on the schedule for our day: a long list. Since the wallboard subcontractors were due in this afternoon, we had to move a three foot high stack of 12 foot wallboad into the front room of the house. Each sheet weights between 75 and 80 pounds and so it was a slow process with two people doing the carrying for each sheet.

Then it was on to the siding. With scafolding surrounding the house and many hands, the work went quickly and even allowed time to get the painting started.

The other good news today was that everything passed the inspections at noon today. So insulation was put in the walls and which means the wallboard would be installed as planned tomorrow. These local guys handle the boards easily, put it up, stay late and finish the spackling too before they leave!

Which means, you know it....we will be painting the interior on Wednesday. Also inside: hanging doors and putting trim around windows and these doors.

At the end of the day, house now has a front door! And siding which received one coat of blue paint....the homeowner choice.
