Day 15

Everyone was back over early the next day to finish taking out the back porch, installing windows into the new wall, and more prep work. We are hoping in two weeks to have the 24 ft beam installed and we can completely open up the whole room.
 

 

I spent most of my day either texturing, using the texturing gun below or floating sheet rock.

This was my practice place, the old kitchen wall.

 My first time using it on Gabby's wall, I thought I was doing pretty good. Mark was there supervising.

 Little bit was not too sure about things, she stayed back.

This is a pretty cool knife. I am using it for a knocked down effect on the texture. It is about 2 feet long.  

It is hard to tell, but the wall came out really well, this is after it started to dry. I also textured a spot in the hall way that needed some update.

I finished floating the former dinner room and little bit's room. 

Little bit and I also took down some more sheet rock.

One thing I love about our new home is the fact little bit and boxer dog GiGi can play outside by themselves. This house has so many windows we can see them from anywhere, and it is fenced in. They were having fun.

We also put up a new beam for the opening from the kitchen into the living room. I am going to love this opening, it will be nice.

We also started removing the title around the fireplace, and we plan to buy a new fire place. 

The guys finished removing the triangle wall, I removed the hallway outside door, and a few other construction pictures.

Then to wrap things up, I started painting the trim in the hallway.
