The Hard Part

OK,, this sealing the ceilings is so very not fun. Worked 12 hours this weekend and completed  538 sf of the 1800 sf total, only problem is that I did all the easiest ones and left the high ceilings for last. My goal is to be complete with it all by next weekend. I can't wait to be done with this, I would rather paint something I can see. Just as soon as we are done sealing the ceiling, we can prime all the sheeterock and begin painting. The plan is to complete the mudroom and bedrooms 1st, then move to the bahrooms, and end up with the awesome room and kitchen. I'm quite sure that the whole thing will not go according to plan, and end up perfect. We are expecting snow tonight and tommoroe, so I will continue to work on the ceiliing. This job requires obsesive effort and you just got to get in a zone and commit the time. I don't like it, but I refuse to pay someone to do it. The prize is that when I am done, one of the biggest projects left will be done. Oh, it looks great! It's kinda all coming together now, and any last minute selections must be made. This is Robyn's time now and I can make suggestions, but must shut up most of the time and let her decide on all the paint colors. After finishing the ceiling, my next big thing is to mill and assemble the interior door frames, another thing that will be time consuming. But it is going good, and so many things are coming together at the same time. I am starting to smell success and it is drawing me in, pulling me to completion. Momentum is building and I am starting to realize, we will be living here within 3-4 months.  I have noticed a cool thing that happens when it gets real cold in the Gorge. Icefalls form on the cliffs from the many springs coming from the bluffs during the night, and then crash to the ground when the sun warms the cliffs the next day. This is just too cool, kinda like calving glaciers, and continues thoughout the day. There is always something to learn in the Gorge if you pay attention. I hope everyone has a great week and SYOTRS, Rog
