Day 54 April 9

The previous day I had struggled getting the lazy susan door attached. David got up a little earlier than normal so he had a couple minutes to get to the tasks I was struggling with, including that dang bit that was still stuck in the cabinet. So David swooped in to remove the bit and attach the door as easily as brushing his teeth. This project would have been screwed a long time ago if it were all up to me to get things accomplished.

I sanded and spackled the extended wall hopefully one last time so I can paint and then we can attach the last base cabinet. I was originally thinking we should go ahead and put in the cabinets in the mudroom, but then I remembered part of the ceiling that had not yet been put up. I figured it would be easier to get that in while the cabinets and more stuff wasn’t in the way. With this in mind, we would need more drywall. So I texted David the idea and he agreed. We would also need more drywall for repairing the wall at the base of the stairs, along with building a few walls to cover the added ducting. With any excuse to leave work, David came home early and we took a trip to a local hardware shop to pick up 4 more pieces of drywall. Weather was great and skies were clear so it was good timing to pick them up. A particular assignment David has been working on at work has kind of gone to shit so the rest of his night was consumed with phone calls and emails. Sometime I wish I could do it for him but then he’d really be in a load of crap.
