I know it has been almost a month since my last post, but a rather dandy round of flu, sinus infections, and colds knocked us all down for 2 weekends?! We are now mostly past it all, but it was no fun while it lasted.

And speaking of no fun, I am still toiling away at the remodel project. After two weekends of lost work, I spent last weekend re-wiring the room and installing recessed ceiling lights. It took most of the weekend, but the ceiling lights will make a huge difference. And since the wiring was done, I ordered up some drywall and managed to hang most of it this weekend. The room is about 12 and a half feet deep and about 23 feet wide, so I bought some big ‘ol pieces – 14 and 12 footers (to minimize the number of seams to mud and sand)!!! And let me tell you… nothing quite reminds you how out of shape you are like trying to move around a 14 foot sheet of drywall. I always managed to win the fight, but they almost flipped me inside out at least once! After spending yesterday and today putting up the big sheets, I only have the south wall left and it will use 8 foot sheets – very manageable compared to those other ones…

Oh yeah… while I was working in the room, Will got his haircut today! So I thought I would throw in a picture of him too…
