The end is nigh... of drywall, that is.

Yes, it's true. We can honestly say that we're almost finished the drywall. Almost.

Of course, that's after a full two days of hard slogging away at it. So, in a way, you could also say we're still not finished. Hmmm... I think I'll stick with being almost done, if it's all the same to you.

At any rate, I apologize in advance for the relative brevity of this post - yet again - but it's been a long day of work, even with losing an hour to that antiquated daylight savings time nonsense, and I'm tired.

So here it is, the completed bathroom drywall:





Yep. It's done. As is the office - well, almost. There's just one piece I haven't put up yet, and that's to cover the bulkhead by the electrical panel.

We also tackled one of the hardest bits, the wall behind the laundry sink and washing machine:



Looks pretty good, eh? You'd hardly notice that we had to make a last-minute run to Crappy Tire to get an extra piece of pipe we could reroute the drain for the sink. Yep. Half-an-inch of drywall screwed up all the angles.

But that's about it. Oh, the War Department cleaned up all the detritus in the yard and got it stacked nicely by the curb for the once-yearly city brush pick-up while I put up the last piece of drywall in the closet and the tricky piece under the support beam by the workshop, but really, that's the sum total of a weekend's worth of work up there.

Sheesh.

I think the next time I take part in a renovation, I'm putting in for the supervisor position. It looks like a freaking cakewalk to me:

You forgot to mention the handy Calgary Flames towel drying on the laundry sink, and how useful it was at soaking up the yucky drainwater during the plumbing operation.
Thanks Elaine!
