More Drywall

Non-stop rain this weekend, which discouraged me from doing much drywall, but finally on Sunday I got sick of waiting and ran down and threw some drywall on top of the wagon, put some plastic on it and headed home.  About 6 sheets is the maximum that I'm willing to put on top of the car.  I got some water resistant (blue) and normal drywall (white).  The water resistant stuff is used in the basement, with the normal stuff upstairs.

I was able to get the island wall facing the living room, and one backside sheet installed, which you can see here.  This finally gives some feel for what the final kitchen space will look like.

Then, in the basement theater, I was able to get the entire back wall drywalled.

The black things leaning on the wall are the sound traps for the theater.  I should have time during the week to grab a few more sheets of drywall so that I can finish doing the theater room over Christmas.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Patio Demo

Wanted to get a good exposure to the foundation so I could verify the seal (think I found a leak in the planter box where the foundation meets), so I decided to tackle getting the rear concrete pad broken up.  Quotes to do the job were in the $5k range, so I decided I'd break it up and move it myself.  Removal then is only $650. Rented a breaker from HomeDepot.  Took about 6-7hrs of work, and a lot of Ibuprofin.  Went from this: To this: I am planning on taking at least a week of picking at it to move everything.
