Misleading title. Actually waiting for the baby is the hardest part. The house has been progressing so swiftly it’s making our heads spin.
Monday. Prep for drywall and dry wall in the downstairs bathroom. We last minute redesigned the master bathroom. Christiane wants to put a piece of furniture where one of the sinks was going to be. I still haven’t made my peace with it.

I had a talk with Ace and he gave the supervisor six weeks to finish the job. That puts the finish date at June 30, two days past the one I picked last summer when we got this project started, and a day after Christiane’s birthday, which I promised to celebrate on the deck. I’ll be starting the kitchen on Thursday this week, unless we have a brand new baby. If that happens on Thursday, then I just don’t know what.
Tuesday. More drywall prep.
Wednesday. They darn near dry walled the whole house. I think they were there from 7:30am to 7:30pm.
Thursday. They finished hanging drywall. Mainly the master suite and the utility closet. Taped and floated most of it. Christiane went into something indistinguishable from labor but not really labor because we still don’t have a baby.
Friday. Finished taping a floating. There is an amazing amount of white powder and mud on the floor. We better pick out some gol-dang paint colors.
Having the drywall in, it’s much easier to see what we designed. The ceiling in the master bedroom is a good bit higher feeling than I thought. The dining room and kitchen has a great, just-complex-enough look. It also became plainly obvious that when they swapped the position of the toilet and sink in the kid’s bathroom, they did not change the position of the light over the sink. So we have a light over the toilet, and I guess, a cabinet over the sink. Hope that’s easy to fix.
