Drywall...

 WOW!!!  The other side of the fireplace is almost done.  It makes it feel more like a real room. Just a couple of days ago, there was a 4' stack of drywall and green board in front of the fireplace.  Now, it's odds and ends of tile and stuff.  Having all the walls closed in with insulation and drywall is making it much warmer, too. 

This is looking into the kitchen.  John, the carpenter, had his two helpers, Chris & Jackie, move all the tile, grout and other stuff into the bedroom yesterday morning...  He would have been helping, except I was there to ask about the dryer vent in the Utility Room.  We'd forgotten about that before tile was put on the floor.  John says he can fix that.  Right now, we have regular type washer & dryer.  We, David & I, talked last night about getting the stacked set to save space.  But we'll still need that dryer vent in the floor.  But, I don't have to make that decision right now...  I'll think about that tomorrow...
Here's the Sun Room with drywall.  Doesn't it look different???  There will be window seats along both walls.  I don't know what kind of storage there'll be under them, yet.  Tommy, the electrician, suggested having a raised platform/table in the corner.  He's got the cable run over to that corner for that.  There have been so many decisions to make, that it gets overwhelming.
Now, we're looking at the front door... of course...  John took that door out and re-set it.  We'd thought that when Jackie, the house leveler, got things straightened out, it would open and close better...  It didn't.  John fixed it yesterday before putting up the drywall.  It was nice to be able to open that door without having to use my shoulder to push it open.  Thanks, John!
