And There Was Great Rejoicing!

Hurray! Once side of the upstairs has been completed with the exception of trim around the knee walls and ceiling. This has been a long time coming. I've learned a few things from my son during this exercise, especially about marking tile (ceiling that is.) I've aslo learned I'm not as young as I used to be and the recovery period is longer.

Today was spent removing furring strings from the next section and appling more insulation. Plywood on the corresponding ceiling area was replaced covering the entire area. Why oh why the previous contractor left gaping voids between pieces of plywood is a mystery. That is the story of "this old house." I seen to spend more time correcting other people's poor work than I do the project I started.

Old houses are similar to boats. You sink money into them on a continuous basis, projects always take longer and cost more than estimated, and you forgo maintenance at your own peril. At least they appreciate in value ( well, present epoch not included.).
