While cabinets were piled up, drywall went up too
As of early this afternoon, there are no more open walls. While the cabinets were being piled up in the dining room and hallway, drywall guys were at work in the kitchen covering the walls in dark-grey sheet rock. So now we’ve gone from finished white walls to no walls and dark wood to dark grey unfinished walls.
Note the white splotches in the picture below. They only appeared when I took a picture with the flash. I think there were lots of fine reflective dust particles in the air. We couldn’t see them, but they really had a dramatic effect on the photos. Makes me wonder how much of that we breathed in. Note to self: save photos for future class-action lung-disease lawsuit.
New drywall. Also, apparently, it's snowing.
I think Ruskin likes the simplicity of the gray monotone.
Tomorrow the walls get a few coats of plaster and will be back to white and ready for paint after Christmas.
Also, here’s Anne reheating pizza in what space is left in the dining room:
Cramped quarters
And peeking over the stacked-up cabinets:
Can't get there from here
I think Ruskin is wondering where he can file a complaint.
I think this goes to show that you have way more space than you need. Maybe you should think of renting out your dining room as storage space.
