Drywall is done!
This is going to be a photo-heavy post. The walls look great! I’m so excited to see things start to come together. The house is still a mess but the end is in sight!
They worked on Monday and Tuesday but things were still kinda wet and the wet plaster looks brown and dingy so I waited a couple days to get good pictures for y’all.
Also, this technically isn’t drywall but blue-board and plaster. It’s a super smooth coat and is a “better” wall than the drywall. They use it because it’s super easy to blend with the existing plaster.
There is a layer of plaster dust on everything. I haven’t gotten around to getting everything cleaned up… I’ve been avoiding it!
I have lots and lots and lots of mopping and dusting to do. Yuck! I mean, just look at that mess!
There are lots of pictures below. It’s a little hard to tell what’s going on but consider that the house looked like this just a week ago!
Lots of cleaning and then painting and then tiling and decorating! Whoop.

P.S. There are lots of pictures below. To remind yourself of the pre-blueboard, check out this post. This post has the hung blue board up.

Hello readers.
I thought I’d just write a quick post saying I am A-OK. Arlington is a little north of the areas that are affected by the current lock-down. My prayers are fervent for the police that are leading this man-hunt.
This photo from the Associated Press sums up the feelings of gratitude I have for these heroes.
Keep the people affected and the heroes who are protecting us in your thoughts and prayers today

P.S. Expect a drywall post later today. I let no terrorists stop my regularly scheduled programming.
