Today I finished hanging the drywall, and building my little model building room.
I installed a little 5000 BTU air conditioner in the room area on Tuesday, and turned it on to make sure it would work. With all the insulation in the building just the little guy kept the whole building 20 degrees cooler then the out side, so I finished the drywall in comfort. I have a much larger portable unit I will install with a dryer vent.
My son and his buddy hung the drywall on the ceiling but I finished the walls solo, and enjoyed it a lot.
One of the fringe benefits of this job is the fact I have lost 35 unwanted pounds, so I only have 50 to go.
I'll start putting the joint compound on tomorrow.
I still need to install the heat system (stats and baseboard units)(the wiring is roughed in), and I need to build the short walls that will run down the center of the layout, but the heavy hard stuff is all done.
All in all I'm tickled with the way it is working out.
