Today was another busy day, but that’s good, I got a lot done again.  We only have 33 days to be into our new house.  So, I added more things to the fallout 3 room, like an exit sign, and a power box to the wall, as well as a few more bricks and some trim on the window.  It’s looking very industrial, and Trent loves it.  Being the post-apoc kind of guy I am, I love it too.

I also started work on Rebekah’s horse stable bunk bed. That thing could survive a tornado, it’s very solid.  I got the base for the mattress done, and the legs cut, and added the stairs.  I hope to get more of that done soon.  I’m building it in parts though, so I can move it in and out of the room.  I figure when she out-grows it, I can put it outside for the grand kids to play in.

I took the strips off the hallway walls and the kitchen walls that they decided to put on instead of mudding the drywall…it already looks 100% better.  I also started working on the thing in the middle of the ceiling.  It was full of mirrors and a ceiling fan. I got a new fan, one with a light, since there is no light in the front room, and tried to fix the ceiling thing…the plywood was pulling away from the mirrors.

No luck, so Terri and I are going to pick up some tiles to mount over the mirrors (one is cracked anyway), and then mount the new fan today.

More rain for today as well…good, I love being cold and wet and trying to work in this stuff LOL…if we ever get a dry day I can start putting windows in. grrrr
