Milestone

This is what our place has looked like, essentially, for the last 7 months or so...


And then this arrived...


28 bundles of it insulated the walls, then poly was stapled to all exterior walls and the ceiling (note: a fair amount of bruising to Ben's knuckles occurred)...


All seams were tuck taped or acousti-sealed, 26 potlights & numerous electrical outlets were cut out and tucked taped...long nights...late, oh so late nights...


And then, 8 month of work was covered up in one day.


Here's the living room, insulated & partial poly:


Living room with complete poly, and tuck tape:


Living room sheeted with drywall:


Kitchen island bulkhead, poly & tuck:


Drywall:


It's a huge relief to have the drywallers working away in there. Every wall is now sheeted, and they've moved on to tape, mud, and sand. We're hoping to move in by the end of the month, however...renters must be found first. Know anyone in Calgary who's looking to rent a 2 bed condo right close to downtown?

Yes, the drywall is a huge relief. Finding a renter will also be a large relief.
