Herb Shop Work Party, Day 2

Drywall, Part 2

The Herb Shop is galloping toward completion.

The welcoming facade

An expansive room

A second day of hanging drywall did the trick. The saving grace is that sheets of drywall are quite large, so they cover a lot of area, one by one by one.

Precision artists

But every sheet that goes up on the wall needs detail work, for electrical outlets, windows, door frames. . . And these workers are precision artists. Every cutout is precise and fits snuggly. Very satisfying to peer at the fine workmanship.

By lunchtime, the large pieces were in place on the walls, the ceiling was complete, and there was a light at the end of the drywall tunnel.

Sharing a well-earned, hot lunch

We were stretched a bit thin today, with a boisterous gift fair that gobbled up Hailey and Peony, then Zach, William, and Paean, and with Glenda and Manisha putting lunch together, but we conquered the dry wall.

Holiday gift fair

Next up: taping, mudding, sanding, painting, and all forms of dusting. We can do this. With joy.
