See - that's the framing. If you look closely, you can see the other room behind this one. It's done. Well, no flooring and trim, but otherwise it's done.

There will be a hallway to the right of the framing that leads to a full bath, mechanical room and of course, the laundry.

The Laundry Room - In One Week

To quote my friend Susan, Sharon, wtf am I doing during Holy Week completely constructing a room?

Well, friends, it goes like this. The wife and daughter are out of town, and this is the most excellent time for me to:
1. bang hammers loudly at all times
2. run the compound miter and table saws
3. have no freaking hot water cause I screwed up 3 solder joints. dammit!
4. Almost electrocute myself because I wanted to see what 15 amps look like when it is grounded. In the fuse box. My burned up screw driver, let me not show you it.

I'm not so good at mud & tape. Yet



Alright, the walls are up. Tape is up. Tape is down (I pulled it). Adhesive tape is up. I like adhesive. I hate mudding adhesive.

Did I mention we're into paint now? 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of finish. Here are room shots prior to wall finish color. Ceiling is textured and lit. I'd like to be lit, but there's church tonight.
