Rock On! main floor Feb 6-7

The sheetrock crew of 5 citizens of our neighbor to the South arrived on schedule Wednesday. Some of the little nooks take some working out, but it was amazing ... how fast it went from this:
through this (while a storm - the trailings of the tornado-spawning one in Tennessee - blew in outside) ...
and this (pretty cool stilts, eh?) ...

to this ...
and the final picture taken today when the weather was nice nice nice.
I thought this router tool was just peachy (double click on image for clear view of the almost cut recessed light can):




George and I hung some sheetrock in our temp bathroom last summer, and how we struggled to get the pre-cut holes in the right place!
Below on right is the same room looking the other way and main door on left.



And we have some ex-siding news on the other side of that wall!

You can see the hemlock weathering in the lower courses from being on just a couple of days. The whiter stuff on top was put on today. Of course its got a long way to go in the weathering department - especially this wall which will get the most exposure.
