Well, yesterday was just one of those days when your head hurts so bad that it does not think straight and your body feels like lead. Not an excuse but I screwed up royally yesterday. I always have my camera ready and yesterday I just let it sit on my computer desk as AGAIN my family and sweet husband worked on the kitchen. In the morning Grandpa and I cleared everything from the walls and the cabinets. Grandpa added new insulation to the holes that were made in the ceiling for the new lights --- also the large hole that was placed in the ceiling (that was not suppose to be) when the house was built was insulated and covered up. Paul then worked on framing in the micro-wave and adding the trim on the bottom of the cupboards. It was then time again to seal the kitchen and t
he little dining room up again with plastic to save some dust in the rest of the house. It is wonderful to have such a large open kitchen and great room but the dust can settle on everything quickly. Especially the piano --- when you can write your name with your finger on it you know it is dusty.
At about three Jeff and Lisa arrived and shortly after Todd, Mary, and Damon were here to start the sheet rock work. Now one look at all the wonderful new lights that DelRay had added to the kitchen was a bit of a shock. In fact I think Jeff and Todd maybe swore a bit at DelRay. But Grandpa and I love them --- as age comes you just need a bit more light to see. And what MacKenzie said is really true ---- just remember if my Dad's doing the electrical you will have so many switches you will never learn what they all go to. It is cute to see her so proud of her dad. DelRay had called Ryan to come and help if he wanted but Ryan had school that day and was unable to. DelRay teased that he needed some young body to help with the grunt work.
The kitchen definitely has many jogs, so working out the plan of sheetrocking was not real easy but Todd and Jeff soon had a plan and began moving ahead. Their measuring, marking and cutting were right on because they found each one of those lights perfectly. Jeff did the cutting out with the roto-zip and he did look like a frosting snowman. Not a real clean job. So with Damon
maning the chalk line, Grandpa giving support wherever needed, Lisa and Mary helping to be sure the men had what they needed at hand the ceiling was completed. I was in awe of how Todd and Jeff could take the measurements and fit the pieces together so perfectly. And then all of that time that their arms were above their heads putting in screws to hold everthing secure. Their "Six-Shooters" were hot. They too were masters at work --- How proud we are to know that our children are so sharp at skills that make homes and lives better. The service that we know they share with their friends and family makes them great men and women. 
Lisa kept the work area cleaned --- which helped so much, not only for the men to have area to move around in but it saved Grandpa and I so much time in cleanup when the job was done. We have put the kitchen back together a bit until the next time. Todd will be working his "regular" job for the next few days but will be back on Wednesday to begin the taping and mudding. The crown molding around the cupboards and the trim around the ceiling will then have to be added before he can texture the ceiling and it can be painted. Step by Step.
THANK YOU---THAN
K YOU for your help ---- LOVE YOU
