Still Progressing - Slowly

[DigitalDon]

The taping and mudding was finally finished on the sheetrock. I just finished sanding (yeah me - the other guy vanished) yesterday. Today I scraped all the mud off the floor (messy SOB's) and swept it out. We were in the middle of wiping down the walls when my son decided to mix up some "bondo" to form his new truck speaker box. Yeah - it ran all of us out, including him, in about 10 minutes. At least it'll probably kill all the mosquitos that got in. We'll be putting on primer this week and hopefully painting this weekend. I'll post some pics after the primer/paint. Walls in the live room will be a purple/plum color kinda like the Auralex foam. Control room will be a blue color like the Auralex foam. Hope it doesn't class with my red lava lamp or I'll have to repaint the whole room

It does seem to go slower than anticipated huh Don.
I really thought that by now, I'd be at the sheetrock stage.
Instead, I'm just barely getting the roof put on (today), and then I'll be sheathing the outside. At least that'll get me weathered in.

All the inside framing is done, except the control room walls.
After that, rough in for electrical, and HVAC.

I HAVE to be done before the middle of MAY. Gets too hot after that!

The roof will be a major milestone in construction, and when its done, I'll document all the construction to date on John's web-site.

Ok, now we're painting in the live room!!! I'm off work Friday so I swear I'll take some pictures. Right now it looks like a daycare center. We painted a wall blue but it looks more purple. Hi boys and girls - my name is Barney!!! I told my son to pick a color and get it. It was a shade of red he thought would darken to a maroon. Oh shit - it looks like someone slaughtered chickens and dragged them across the wall. Too much pink in the red. It actually looked pretty good on top of the blue (uh purple) because it darkened it. We just picked up a can of a dark maroon and I think this will be it. Put one coat on a wall (previously painted (well kinda) with the slaughtered chickens. I'll see how it looks in the morning. Man I hope no one comes in and sees it like it looks right now. Damn, I said I'd post pics so I guess I'm stuck now!!

Believe it or not we're actually having fun figuring out the right color. My son does a great impersonation of Barney Of course he does great impersonations of the characters on Southpark too Nobody has admitted to suggesting any of the colors so far
