sheetrock.

So Sunday rolled around. Yep - time to hang sheetrock. This is how my room has looked for the last - umm, maybe three years (maybe more, can’t really remember anymore) -



Well - the speakers and the doors are new ... so yeah - time to hang sheetrock. But first - I caved. I figured I had the audio wire so what the heck - I ran the cable for two surround speakers and a center speaker. Now it’s in the walls for when I get around to possibly using it. It’d have been much harder to do that once the walls were up.



Then once I had that taken care of I got to work cutting and hanging sheetrock. Uhh - I forgot how heavy that sheit is. And how much of a mess it makes cutting it. It’s dusty. Really, really dusty. And did I mention heavy? Julian helped hold while I screwed the first piece in -


I used my jigsaw to cut the holes for the outlets and speakers -


And after I think ten hours or something it was all up - and then my room had walls -



The problem is - well - that it’s my bedroom. And hanging drywall is dusty. So I need to hurry up and finish mudding and taping. Cos in the meantime - and I’m lucky that I have a hole where the piano would normally be (which I am going down to Portland to play for the first time in almost six months) - I’ll be sleeping on the floor in the living room -


So yeah - have to hurry up and finish this little project.
