Dad came up yesterday and helped me mop. It was nice to have him come up and give me a hand and really enjoyed his company. Everything is mopped and walls are wiped down ready for paint. We plan to start painting tomorrow. Also - here's a few updated pics on what's been going on.
The sheetrock turned out really nice. The owner was on site and one of the finishers on the finish crew. After everything was done they went over the entire house with handheld lights twice and marked any problem areas. They also asked us to start priming and give them a call if we came across any issues so they could come back out if needed.
Here's a pic of the scissor trusses along with a closeup of the sheetrock around the timbers where they meet the wall.
I installed the ceiling fans before the scaffolding for sheetrock was taken down. We were really happy with the fans and how they matched the timbers. They really move a lot of air as well.
Tongue and groove was put up in the entry and I've got most of the dining room done as well.
My wife changed her mind now that everything is closed in and decided that she wanted some pendent lights over the stairs. Luckily I pulled a wire into the attic space for them just in case. Since the ceiling was closed in and foamed I only had one access point close to the hallway and edge of the ceiling. We didn't really want track here so I ran some exposed metal conduit and painted it to match the fans.
Fireplace mantel is up and stonework for the fireplace should start this week depending on weather. We are looking at 6-8" of snow starting tomorrow. I got some of the rock loaded up today and taken up to the house before the snow starts. Diesel also came out to check out what I was doing. He is really packing on the pounds this winter. I think he's pushing about 210 now.
