11.24.2017

After breakfast this morning, Jim and Kyle headed to the property.  Julia and I cleaned up and packed lunch for us all before heading out.  The plan was to let the guys have some time at the property while Julia and I went out to do a little shopping.  But first, we got to all tour the apartment!  Things have changed so much since the last time they had been up, so it was fun to explore.  I had brought my paint colors and floor sample along so Julia and I talked paint!

I got to see Jim trying out his new splayed tape on the angled wall in the kitchen.



This was a huge help - Kyle was able to help Jim move over the four pieces of drywall needed to finish the side wall.  Jim and I managed to do the first couple pieces but it was much easier for Jim to have Kyle help him!  


Chatting in the wood shop...


At this point, Julia and I headed out.  We didn't have any pressing shopping needs, but went to the outlet malls just to have a little Black Friday experience.

Jim and Kyle got busy working on putting drywall on the auto bay ceiling!  First piece up...


Jim drilled a hole to pull the wires through and they got the next piece up in place...


Next piece...


Doing the fastening...


Next piece...


Ceiling is all done but the last little row!


Last row in place and putting the first piece on the slanted wall.  You can see the hole cut out to pull the wires through for the lights...


Wires through and getting into final position...

Measuring for the first piece on the west side...


Next two pieces up on the west wall...looks fabulous!


Kyle and Julia headed back to NYC about 6:00 tonight.  It was a short visit but we enjoyed every minute - and sure appreciated Kyle's help too!
