The drywall is almost all hung, only the insides of the bathroom and stairway to go. With the lure of my wife’s famous pancakes I was able to con Mike from work over Saturday to help me. Thanks Mike!

A nice gentleman from the Wentzville Fire Department signed off on my plan and framing, yay! Here is a look at some of the framing before I got started hanging drywall.

Getting the drywall down to the basement proved to be quite the adventure. My basement is not a walk-out and the stairs bend 180°. With much bending (of me) and exertion I was able to just barely get a 48″x90″ piece down the stairs. This is quite exhausting as you can imagine.

The Good Lord has blessed me with many talents but hanging drywall is not one of them. I am hoping for the best when it is all said and done. One joint in particular turned out really badly. Surely it will improve as I go along? =)

Tomorrow is hopefully my last inspection before I can start covering the walls in SheetRock. =) As you can imagine I am about to go crazy with the lack of a place to tinker for the last several months. It will all be worth it when my shiny new workshop is up and going.
I’ll get some pictures of my second-rate carpentry up some day.
A little change in plans. The open area under the stairs is now a closet and the bathroom was shrunk to make room for a wet bar.
