Denny came over today and began to finish the plumbing.
To stay out of his way, I decided to continue dry walling and moved to Sydney's bedroom ceiling.
I took most of the day to get 3/4 of the ceiling done. I had a hard time figuring out which way to run the drywall to minimize butt joints. This was especially hard since the room is a U shape and 3 of the corners have hip roof trusses, which means that they run at right angles to one another.
5/8" drywall for the ceiling is really heavy. Margaret helped me, and the lift was a lifesaver. For the holiday's I received 2 of these 3rd hands. I used both, especially on longer sheets.
