Walls Of Drywall
I’m late to the game on this post, but as they say better late then never. Thursday was game six of the World Series. I’m a huge baseball fan so the postseason is always exciting for me. I’m a also a huge Cub fan so naturally, I was rooting against the Cardinals. I actually missed a good portion of game six because I was busy working on my house but did manage to catch the last four or so innings at a bar. Those fucking Cardinals just wouldn’t die. I can go into more detail and dish out more of my opinion about the game, but I know most of the readers are not huge baseball fans. Game six though was not a very good game in that there were a lot of errors and the quality of play was poor from both teams. But, it was very exciting and all I can say is that I could not get enough of it from about the eighth inning on.
Friday of course was game seven which I was very excited about as there has not been a seven game World Series since 2002. Sadly, I was only able to catch bits and pieces as I was busy removing the last stubborn chunks of drywall from the studs in my living room and hall. For those of you that don’t know, I’m remodeling my front room (or as Chicagoans call it, “fronch room”), hall and bedroom. We started this project about two weeks ago and it has been much worse then I imagined. Clearly I have bitten off more then I can chew, but now that we have started we can’t stop now. And my goal is to get it all done and completed by Thanksgiving. It is a lofty yet realistic goal.
Yesterday morning I had a dentist appointment in the morning and the afternoon was spent hanging drywall in my front room and hallway. We got a good portion of it done, but still have more to do. I’m hoping that somehow, we can manage to finish hanging it today. I’m not optimistic though. Got my fingers crossed. Gotta go now though. Just wanted to post a quick update.
