Catch Up

Sunday has come and gone....went to church, went out to Dan's mom's to help fix a leak and spent a couple hours visiting with his sister and her kids. Then I sat out on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful day while making lists and plans for this week.

So, I promised you a few extra pictures from the week, so here we go....

At the Conklin family reunion. Dan and his siblings.

Then to the 22nd of July....we had gone to Menard's first thing in the morning and gotten drywall.







25lbs. of drywall screws





We start hanging the drywall




"Dead man" helping us hold the drywall up in place until it is screwed up/down/in place!




Hank arrived to help









Marie stopped by to check out the progress




She was such a big helper!




Altogether a very productive week. Three rooms are drywalled and the hallway ceiling has been started. This week as Dan has help, he will hang more drywall and in the meantime, if he is alone, he will start taping and mudding the walls.

At this point, I don't plan to go over the next day or two at least. I want to make sure I am ready for my family to arrive on Thursday and Friday. So many little details, I don't want to forget anything. If we get it all ready, maybe I'll go over later in the week. Who knows!?

Hope you have a great, awesome, wonderful, blessed week!
