sheetrock update

Time for another sheetrock update!

Ben's been hard at work to finish laminating the existing messy walls with new sheets of 1/4" sheetrock. While I haven't been there to actually see the progress myself he's been trying to keep me updated with lots of phone calls and emails of pictures of the completed work. You can read about the process in the living room and bedroom here and here.

The Bedroom
While he's pretty much gotten the hang of the installation process, the bedroom required a few extra steps before he could just laminate the walls.

Remember this?
Originally when Ben and I purchased the house there was an extra door between the kitchen and bedroom. We opted to close it up in an effort to provide us with more wall space in the kitchen and the bedroom- you can read about the decision to close it off here. Ben removed the door frame and installed stud. He easily closed it off on the kitchen side- not being too concerned with the finished product because cabinets will be covering the unevenness of the wall. You can read about that here.

On the bedroom side he needed to insulate the wall..
cover up the door frame and then laminate the entire wall with 1/4" sheetrock..
You'd never know there was ever a door there!

The rest of the walls were covered like the rest of the house transforming the space from this..
to this..




And onto the next.. taping, sanding and then I'm ready to paint!!!
